WEBVTT

02:00.000 --> 02:02.000
I

03:30.000 --> 03:34.280
Admiral has feet, but you do yet again have to walk into an established hazard.

03:37.080 --> 03:39.780
Alright, he's rolling off angle, immediately checked.

03:39.780 --> 03:42.080
Has got Admiral by his side.

03:42.780 --> 03:46.180
Hawks wants more, trying to pressure Point, but Jimbin's not having any of it.

03:46.180 --> 03:48.880
Just happy to take the one big one when he's got that spike guard up.

03:49.440 --> 03:52.780
Look at that defensive tool there, doing damage while you're holding the block.

03:52.780 --> 03:55.860
Admiral does end up falling, just spike that rush coming out.

03:55.860 --> 03:58.720
Hawks trying to make his presence known in the backline, but...

03:58.720 --> 04:06.940
Only presence now is ten feet under shut down by T sang and the fight just about over and maybe this map and series too

04:07.240 --> 04:15.000
Crazy referring with overclock and downboard can't imagine that they'll play all that defensively right 25% left

04:15.080 --> 04:21.360
With how quickly flashpoint burns out and a sim TV. We're just looking to catch base station before they can set up lethal

04:23.680 --> 04:25.680
Gotta get a big touch

04:25.680 --> 04:30.480
Jumping down poor Hawk on another hero is back on the hazard this time around

04:30.480 --> 04:35.160
Soundbarry is gonna connect for Crazy Raccoon happy to just back off down poor

04:35.160 --> 04:37.980
Not sure who it connected with but it doesn't really matter

04:37.980 --> 04:40.680
Jumping is already inserting himself into the conversation

04:40.680 --> 04:45.060
Taking to the sky, Lentil snipes out stalker might just be what Space Station

04:45.060 --> 04:50.320
required to get this flip and at least hold for more than 20% or so Crazy Raccoon

04:50.320 --> 04:52.120
They're gonna come back for the Soundbarry

04:52.120 --> 04:59.120
Yeah, it comes at the castle space station, all of that, so right now they need to hit, and they need them now.

04:59.120 --> 05:06.620
Crazy return going low, but not low enough, no depth to display a show-off from just sending the team forward with one side of B.

05:06.620 --> 05:11.120
Yeah, I mean it feels like an inevitability here, that space station is just going to get flattened.

05:11.120 --> 05:14.620
This B is going to be too much, everybody cowering right now at the space station on this high ground.

05:14.620 --> 05:17.620
They're going to get an isolate wall there and jump in, but B connects with him.

05:17.620 --> 05:22.000
Green over health dissipating now as Hawke is on the pursuit, but Lethal's already dead.

05:22.000 --> 05:24.300
Hawke needs this kill desperately and he's gonna get it.

05:24.300 --> 05:26.320
But meanwhile, this team are falling around him.

05:26.320 --> 05:29.860
Ablut down, Lethal to follow like Crazy Raccoon is still in this.

05:29.860 --> 05:32.860
A stiff on the back of Hawke, downpour of his own is gonna connect with the point,

05:32.860 --> 05:35.360
but who's actually managed to secure?

05:35.360 --> 05:39.360
Jumping back on the Hawke, maybe to make the big difference, make him an assault stalker.

05:39.360 --> 05:45.960
A Snipe on this sugar-free, O-T is Crazy Raccoon, secure the point, ultra-violet, out of resources,

05:45.960 --> 05:52.160
Out of time, a space station lose control of not only the map, but of the series too.

05:52.160 --> 05:55.960
A 3-0 on Atlas and Crazy Raccoon.

05:55.960 --> 05:57.960
Come up with the dub.

05:59.460 --> 06:04.960
They need a clean fight. There's only two minutes to go, and a clean fight is not what they'll find.

06:04.960 --> 06:10.460
Mac has been so brutal with his anti-nades that Kiriko banned no Suzes.

06:10.460 --> 06:15.980
The both, the Pulse Bomb put the Nade as well, and Weibo dispatch Vulcans.

06:15.980 --> 06:17.460
Let it be fight two.

06:17.460 --> 06:20.860
Vulcans won the last one. This is the cruelty of Colosseo, right?

06:20.860 --> 06:24.060
When you start having that distance lead for these other sides,

06:24.060 --> 06:26.260
they're able to just set up for the next fight.

06:26.260 --> 06:29.660
You take so long pushing the objective through main,

06:29.660 --> 06:31.860
that they just push it a little bit more through main,

06:31.860 --> 06:35.060
force you to have to take a fight on this one angle

06:35.060 --> 06:38.260
that Weibo can just flank around to pinch you with.

06:38.260 --> 06:44.860
There's the Teleport, the Shatter in the hands of someone too, Lee trying to look front of the entrance here, however these turrets are going to be a little bit annoying for him.

06:46.860 --> 06:53.860
Looking for Marco, he might. Oh, Lee takes down shieldable people, someone did he end up using the Shatter here? It looks unwise.

06:55.260 --> 07:07.460
This is just way more fully in control, like Maka has been so efficient with these maids, someone on the Rhine has not been able to block enough of them to stop the Fielder from being forced into using a mortality field in a reaction.

07:07.460 --> 07:12.460
And without that cooldown, the Baptiste and the rest of his team are just too vulnerable.

07:12.460 --> 07:22.460
This is lost by territory. Jack, Wave 0-1 fights away for a Chinese team to continue ending up the racket.

07:22.460 --> 07:26.460
Can't go down. Does manage to dash to the mega health pack.

07:26.460 --> 07:32.460
One more fight is all that Wave 0 need here. 25 seconds remain. Leave with a pulse.

07:32.460 --> 07:39.540
There's the wall to open things up. Someone already kind of just waited here by Gushwey, who's lingering in the backline like a tracer right now.

07:39.780 --> 07:45.040
Where's the simtp? Gushwey waiting for that simtp. Knows once a friend that cage will find value.

07:45.040 --> 07:50.620
Well, the cage is gonna come soon. You've got to imagine they're gonna come in and I still slam there from someone, but the cage is gonna come in regardless.

07:50.620 --> 07:53.660
Least of him in, looking for action, however, looking for somebody.

07:53.820 --> 07:59.540
Shai takes down Meru with the artillery barrage. Least of him in, lifts him to safety, but Gushwey and Makka are already dead.

07:59.540 --> 08:04.540
One fight for Fultons to be able to try to find this Leeson.

08:04.540 --> 08:09.540
Checkmate on the point, get annihilated by Shy and now he's all onto someone.

08:09.540 --> 08:14.540
The tag team duo Shy leaves him in, finish off the fights.

08:14.540 --> 08:18.540
Shio a last ditch attempt, but it's just not to be.

08:18.540 --> 08:20.540
They've done it.

08:20.540 --> 08:22.540
Waybo break the curse.

08:22.540 --> 08:28.540
They take Falcons all the way to three and knock them down

08:28.540 --> 08:33.040
down to the low of brackets I mean that's why we've seen teams play like

08:33.040 --> 08:36.700
Reinhardt against Mizuki right because all that damage still exists while we're

08:36.700 --> 08:40.760
doing the Kanko centuries y'all play those in-your-face rush start coughs

08:40.760 --> 08:43.880
that's why the Mizuki is not the option for Slayze switches off realizes that the

08:43.880 --> 08:48.800
kit doesn't offer nearly enough outside of a chain alright here's a spree for it as

08:48.800 --> 08:52.200
easy hard rather than Slayze picked up but they've lost a lead game okay finally

08:52.200 --> 08:54.760
barrel they want to break back here now firing meets the rock end of the pole

08:54.760 --> 08:56.760
I don't know what to say. Let's go down.

08:56.760 --> 08:59.760
I only have 60% break back in.

08:59.760 --> 09:01.760
Well, Liga has the downpour.

09:01.760 --> 09:04.760
I would not be surprised to see him try and play this D.Va again,

09:04.760 --> 09:08.760
especially with Juno Freya on the other side.

09:08.760 --> 09:10.760
I think you're probably going to get a use of this downpour

09:10.760 --> 09:12.760
and then potentially a swap.

09:12.760 --> 09:14.760
We have more of a watch to play after that.

09:14.760 --> 09:16.760
Okay, downpour to trap the backline.

09:16.760 --> 09:18.760
Stop Cloud from dashing away.

09:18.760 --> 09:21.760
Probably the win condition for Liga.

09:21.760 --> 09:25.200
And I later know it's a problem.

09:25.200 --> 09:28.960
AGL puts the point pressure down, a little overhead swing,

09:28.960 --> 09:30.960
PS2 doesn't really look like any damage from that.

09:30.960 --> 09:32.240
Alphari's going to dodge away.

09:32.240 --> 09:34.280
Jax is waiting to see if he's being consumed.

09:34.280 --> 09:35.840
No, they get this to try, apparently.

09:35.840 --> 09:37.480
They go, no, we'll even have the chance

09:37.480 --> 09:38.800
to be used with his downpour.

09:38.800 --> 09:40.040
That's when they're trying to stay alive

09:40.040 --> 09:41.680
to damage with the Gayshine on spike guards,

09:41.680 --> 09:44.440
working overtime, and eventually he falls.

09:44.440 --> 09:45.640
That's a big one.

09:45.640 --> 09:47.600
AGL get caught slipping now.

09:47.600 --> 09:49.240
Alphari's picked off by a ball,

09:49.240 --> 09:51.560
a shot, apparently, that connected directly.

09:51.560 --> 09:55.560
Now Tharall are in the home stretch after winning that number two.

09:55.560 --> 09:58.120
AGL, it's two, we'll die.

09:58.120 --> 10:01.240
I do not like the way that AGL just played that last fight.

10:01.240 --> 10:03.760
Now you're pretty much stuck on this hazard,

10:03.760 --> 10:07.640
but you could have made some swaps if you took that fight earlier.

10:07.640 --> 10:10.160
Interesting clear of EZHARN if at all possible,

10:10.160 --> 10:11.960
but the Tracer now has to deal with Top Dragon on the point.

10:11.960 --> 10:13.360
So the early recall forced out.

10:13.360 --> 10:14.920
Kitsune rush active here for recalls,

10:14.920 --> 10:16.440
get a pop at straight away for the unilation.

10:16.440 --> 10:17.840
It's a bit of a problem.

10:17.840 --> 10:19.520
It's a slight wrinkle in the plan.

10:19.520 --> 10:22.520
Downpour holds KSG in place, they can kite away from the annihilation.

10:22.520 --> 10:24.480
In that window, Nico is picked off.

10:24.480 --> 10:26.280
Saabari in our Valencia, active.

10:26.280 --> 10:29.080
Four players on the field for AGL with Top Dragon as a pulse bomb,

10:29.080 --> 10:31.000
and he's not afraid to use it.

10:31.000 --> 10:34.320
Sees two very nimble backliners that has to be careful of those kunai.

10:34.320 --> 10:35.920
Barrel in control of the point still.

10:35.920 --> 10:39.000
Over time, he's active, and Top Dragon is pacing himself.

10:39.000 --> 10:40.760
Recall, flattening the frontline.

10:40.760 --> 10:42.760
Riga's gonna eat that pulse bomb now and go low,

10:42.760 --> 10:45.520
but Splatguard's gonna help keep him hailing hardy for the time being.

10:45.520 --> 10:47.360
KSG though wants to push a bit further.

10:47.360 --> 10:48.920
Overhead's wind coming in from our firing,

10:48.920 --> 10:54.360
and the league is down, Slayers fall in, and finally, outside of the land of the rising sun,

10:54.360 --> 10:59.480
Varel Stepther Authority, staying alive here at AWC.

11:01.640 --> 11:08.040
A post-pon for Kineki however, and there's the spree to just assault after assault after assault,

11:08.040 --> 11:14.120
is unrelenting from JDG. 15 player kill streak as well for Pineapple.

11:14.120 --> 11:21.620
Yeah, I mean, Bellasraya's pile driving, as the Wrecking Ball and the rest of JD Gaming are pile driving on top of Tim's secret.

11:22.120 --> 11:34.120
Kineke finding the opportunities with the pulse bomb, Pineapple the follow-up with the spree, and Secret yet again locks out of tapping for his point, having to walk into Hamlin's mind, having to walk into a fight before they even get to see point.

11:34.120 --> 11:45.120
Oh, good kill on Kinect, though. Okay. Now High Vision's getting in this. Winter down low to Monk, not a good start, but Lysraea is gonna have those mines and get back to the point as Mewtwo.

11:45.120 --> 11:50.120
Yeah, he's in no man's land right now, and enemy enemy's territory is super far away from the rest of the fight.

11:50.120 --> 11:59.120
JD Gaming just stops Secret from being able to find the flip as well. That was where I was like, okay, well, we might be missing the Blue Yang, but we still got points off of random mines.

11:59.120 --> 12:09.120
So you've got to find the flip here, they've got the ultimates to deal with, but with JDGaming 7, you've got to present plus, if you commit all of your ult here, they just take a dry fight and win the match.

12:09.120 --> 12:12.120
They weren't even pressuring that point the whole time, the mines faded away naturally.

12:12.120 --> 12:17.120
Died in natural causes, North Shore Team Secret are going to get the same honour though sadly.

12:17.120 --> 12:20.120
There's the rush from Mung putting them on the point now.

12:20.120 --> 12:26.360
Every group dark new to in trouble one play from soggy a blinks back folks bombing his back pocket forces the suzu

12:26.360 --> 12:29.760
Hi vision across the map though is going to do a lot to the front line pineapple down

12:30.080 --> 12:36.160
OT team secrets hopes and dreams relying on this point being cast budget win and that was required for

12:36.400 --> 12:39.220
Secret to be able to stay alive in this series

12:40.160 --> 12:46.080
Great back flank from high vision and soggy just flanking into that back line putting the press office supports

12:46.080 --> 12:48.080
They have to do that and then some go

12:48.080 --> 12:54.080
That's JD Gaming, like you've got the title blast to engage with your tracer or your shion, secret.

12:54.080 --> 12:58.080
If you want to go to rally to be able to sustain, you can actually see something out of that DPS now.

12:59.080 --> 13:03.080
Cubs got primal rage there, Handa with it, but Konecki has got the title blast.

13:03.080 --> 13:09.080
Rally, oh there's the boot and Kofi ends up going down with a primal rage, he was stunned so couldn't use it.

13:09.080 --> 13:14.080
And this race is going to have mines too, it's all falling apart for Team Secret, a good stun bash from Pali,

13:14.080 --> 13:16.480
Flash from Polly, but it's actually going to be enough.

13:16.480 --> 13:19.800
Pineapple again, separating the team with his spree,

13:19.800 --> 13:21.720
and now hunting for more.

13:21.720 --> 13:22.840
Kineki gets a couple.

13:22.840 --> 13:24.120
Winter trying to hold on to.

13:24.120 --> 13:25.560
Koffer gets back with a primal rage,

13:25.560 --> 13:27.320
but it's all Pineapple here.

13:27.320 --> 13:32.320
JDG, they're crushing the hopes and dreams of Team Secret,

13:33.000 --> 13:36.400
and their key is not far behind.

13:36.400 --> 13:43.400
I mean, that's gonna be, uh, T1's gonna have all five ultimates, right?

13:43.400 --> 13:49.400
I mean, they're gonna be in prime position, like, back over to the Shion, tried some, uh,

13:49.400 --> 13:50.400
spawns there.

13:50.400 --> 13:52.400
Tracer didn't really find the best results.

13:52.400 --> 13:54.400
Now they're gonna go over to Reaper.

13:54.400 --> 13:57.400
So, look, I mean, you're trying to do that.

13:57.400 --> 13:59.720
Back over to the Xi'an tried some off

14:00.240 --> 14:03.720
This spawns there is tracer didn't really find the best results now

14:03.720 --> 14:06.760
They're going over the reefer so what I mean you're trying to deal with this

14:07.240 --> 14:09.800
Moga you bring some nice knock of the

14:10.520 --> 14:14.800
Adventure of course, but it doesn't matter. I mean sound better use aggression pushed in

14:17.840 --> 14:22.560
All right proud getting real charged that you need to win when

14:22.560 --> 14:30.160
When Shiyun gets the Major, where she gets all of the roll passes between them, it's a brutal scenario.

14:30.160 --> 14:32.660
Clear to see yourself destructed out of trying to get back into mech.

14:32.660 --> 14:37.860
Yes, it was a trade, the T1, but definitely favoured them, they got the favoured either.

14:37.860 --> 14:40.160
I'm just getting myself destructed out of there.

14:40.160 --> 14:41.860
Oh, Tectonic Shock.

14:41.860 --> 14:45.660
I think the size of the brass man is about to give a couple of readings.

14:45.660 --> 14:48.260
Here's an early Suzu Sambar is going to land over the top of it here.

14:48.260 --> 14:51.360
19-0, and this is the time, they've got to hunker down.

14:51.360 --> 14:55.820
The lights have already been picked off and Zest is now looking for that soft underbelly in their composition.

14:55.820 --> 14:57.660
He'll simply throw some pop shots over it clear.

14:57.660 --> 15:00.260
It's gonna be a consumer rush down coming out from where, but the case was a problem.

15:00.260 --> 15:03.360
Hydron hits the overclock to break it open for the rest of T1.

15:03.360 --> 15:05.060
It's still topped up and healthy.

15:05.060 --> 15:06.360
Hydron knows what's coming.

15:06.360 --> 15:10.660
Zest is suspected that Hangzoh became this round and he has to back up even further.

15:10.660 --> 15:12.660
It won't matter. The back flight is down.

15:12.660 --> 15:15.660
T1 is 63%. There's a back cap happening.

15:15.660 --> 15:20.360
And it's gonna be a short-lived victory lap there as light has to saunter away.

15:21.360 --> 15:26.360
Yeah, I mean, what a light backcab, so you get 9%, but that is all T1.

15:26.360 --> 15:31.360
The way they're coordinating these MAGA stumps, right, the furrow from the venture coming in,

15:31.360 --> 15:37.360
just popping out of that, the damage, then plus the stomp, and then also proud rolling on through the fight.

15:37.360 --> 15:40.360
It's been too much for 9Z to deal with all series.

15:40.360 --> 15:46.360
The last chance for 9Z here at the midseason championship, and LCS already has been staved off of the point.

15:46.360 --> 15:52.360
I've just been treated and in fact there was a flip. Another back up, but 9z written all the way down exactly with the back up.

15:52.360 --> 15:55.360
Okay, how do they group up around this?

15:55.360 --> 15:58.360
That is an early slipstep there from where then I think Doghack has realized it.

15:58.360 --> 16:04.360
Life's been picked up here, cleared out, fighting for his life against blissable people and there's a sound barrier.

16:04.360 --> 16:10.360
And already shouldn't be required, but it might just be for a bit of a celebratory dance here.

16:10.360 --> 16:13.360
Turning up the beat for the victory lap now is D1 have done it.

16:13.360 --> 16:17.340
9z dispatched in this sights set squarely

16:17.340 --> 16:20.340
on evening at regional rivalry

16:24.340 --> 16:28.480
it's chronic pretty healthy the entire time on druid and not taking any serious

16:28.480 --> 16:29.480
pressure or damage

16:29.480 --> 16:33.720
they are not going to make it and even worse they've kind of moved up

16:33.720 --> 16:36.720
used some pull-outs to try and make it now they're gonna stuck here

16:36.720 --> 16:40.360
same liquid surely surely this isn't where it ends

16:40.360 --> 16:43.360
How does that really work out in this map?

16:43.360 --> 16:48.360
After switching to Liquid's copter, adopting the revived 5 ultimates though for Team Liquid

16:48.360 --> 16:50.360
to open up our final flashpoint.

16:50.360 --> 16:52.360
Korneming live, Align for TL.

16:52.360 --> 16:55.360
Oh, it doesn't matter! It just doesn't matter!

16:55.360 --> 16:56.360
What a pulse call there!

16:56.360 --> 16:59.360
Yeah, Liquid are going to hit you better believe it, but how are you going to come back from this?

16:59.360 --> 17:01.360
First it was chronic, then it was Sungeon.

17:01.360 --> 17:07.360
Individual DPS plays taking these fights over and Liquid are gagged!

17:07.360 --> 17:14.200
Sanctuary, SimWolf, in Kitsune Rush he is there. Rush obviously used from CJ, the match

17:14.200 --> 17:20.180
up Rush on the other side. Holtzbaum just, yeah fine, it's good. Sunjoo with two, that

17:20.180 --> 17:24.640
just kind of ruins anything that Team Liquid is trying to do there with that

17:24.640 --> 17:29.440
Bank of Ultimate Zero now over to the tracer here. Trying to mark Sunjoo, maybe

17:29.440 --> 17:32.440
also put a little bit more pressure on the loop, right, kind of close the gap with

17:32.440 --> 17:38.440
that wheel. The Annihilations are always at an element of volatility to these fights.

17:38.440 --> 17:42.440
Okay, none of us are starting things off. Dree respects it.

17:42.440 --> 17:47.440
Sontran died, Dree, and there goes Dree. Respect it as much as you like. It's going to come for you either way.

17:47.440 --> 17:52.440
Dree in the headlines was Dree, and he's brought down, and Sontran is on a running riot.

17:52.440 --> 17:58.440
Straight after Xerah, he goes. Chronic with the KS. And that's, I mean, you end up using your annihilation there.

17:58.440 --> 18:04.600
gonna have to jump off the side this is so bad for team liquid at the moment they

18:04.600 --> 18:09.960
get gonna go over to the cat Ali just even try and get close to get a touch

18:09.960 --> 18:17.760
right I mean oh this is brutal here is three three three has to be so careful

18:17.760 --> 18:22.400
they aligns up some help from the tank really one HP nobody on the chase here

18:22.400 --> 18:28.000
comes Vega! Okay, salvation comes on four-pawns, apparently.

18:28.000 --> 18:31.280
Tree was still able to find a kill on Sonshu, by the way. They'll end up eliminating each other,

18:31.280 --> 18:35.600
but we need a touch. Liquid have to go through the last charge, and so far they've been frozen.

18:35.600 --> 18:40.080
Sif, Vega picked off as he tried to come in and salvage the fighter. Now Liquid are on their last

18:40.080 --> 18:45.680
legs. Can they get in onto this point? Can that they find elimination? Chronic is comfortable

18:45.680 --> 18:50.960
sitting back and not being pressured whatsoever by attack. He's been forced out of the affair.

18:50.960 --> 18:55.200
They are now trying to stay alive, but Dallasville will keep the flame alive for North America.

18:55.840 --> 19:02.000
An unfortunate team kill, but also a reminder, this region belongs to us.

19:06.000 --> 19:09.520
A lot of people are haunted by their past. I'm inspired by it.

19:09.520 --> 19:12.560
They're not just playing for themselves, they're really playing for their entire family.

19:13.200 --> 19:18.080
They have defeated their demons! They have crushed the curse!

19:18.080 --> 19:26.800
Hello everybody, I'm GotMoxy and I'm joined here today by Checkmate, Chiu and Merit from

19:26.800 --> 19:31.920
Team Falcons who are going to be playing a little bit of a fun game with me today.

19:31.920 --> 19:36.600
We've got something called Who's Like Hero and we need to see which one you think it

19:36.600 --> 19:39.360
is so let's roll the first one.

19:39.360 --> 19:40.360
Great job.

19:40.360 --> 19:41.360
Save!

19:41.360 --> 19:42.360
Here's a pro!

19:42.360 --> 19:47.840
I mean, you are an actual pro but at this game too, yeah, it's Tracer.

19:47.840 --> 19:50.400
Okay, let's go to the next one. Speedrun!

19:52.400 --> 19:53.600
What is this? Junkrat?

19:53.600 --> 19:54.720
It's a Junkrat.

19:54.720 --> 19:55.600
Is it a Junkrat?

19:55.600 --> 19:56.640
It's a legs.

19:56.640 --> 19:57.760
What is this?

19:57.760 --> 19:58.960
Junkrat.

19:58.960 --> 20:00.960
Yeah, that is Junkrat.

20:00.960 --> 20:02.320
Why did you think it's me?

20:02.320 --> 20:04.320
Uh... He's stupid.

20:06.720 --> 20:08.720
Okay, let's see the third one.

20:09.760 --> 20:10.960
Oh, it's a K-Cut.

20:10.960 --> 20:12.000
It's Mercy.

20:12.000 --> 20:14.000
Mercy is a warrior.

20:14.000 --> 20:15.440
Oh, it's Mercy.

20:15.440 --> 20:16.160
Oh, it's Mercy.

20:16.160 --> 20:16.880
Mercy.

20:16.880 --> 20:22.000
You're really good at this. Yeah, it's mercy. Okay, let's see if you can continue the streak.

20:22.000 --> 20:22.480
Rodog.

20:24.240 --> 20:24.800
Yeah.

20:29.040 --> 20:31.120
Okay, let's see the next one.

20:35.120 --> 20:36.800
Okay, let's have a look at six.

20:46.880 --> 20:56.880
Oh, this one's tricky. Yeah, it's Karakam.

20:56.880 --> 20:58.880
Oh, the victory card.

20:58.880 --> 21:00.880
Oh, okay, okay.

21:00.880 --> 21:02.880
How do you do this?

21:02.880 --> 21:04.880
Did you have a skill?

21:04.880 --> 21:10.880
Okay, let's see if you can redeem yourselves with the last one.

21:10.880 --> 21:15.040
I think it's Halloween.

21:15.040 --> 21:16.040
I think it's a moira.

21:16.040 --> 21:17.040
A moira?

21:17.040 --> 21:18.040
I'm holding it.

21:18.040 --> 21:19.040
Do you have a character like that?

21:19.040 --> 21:22.040
Do you have to draw your hair like this?

21:22.040 --> 21:23.040
Now, as an over-chair?

21:23.040 --> 21:24.040
Yeah, over-chair.

21:24.040 --> 21:25.040
Okay.

21:25.040 --> 21:28.040
We haven't tried to trick you guys.

21:28.040 --> 21:29.040
You have to look at your legs well.

21:29.040 --> 21:30.040
No.

21:30.040 --> 21:31.040
You look like a cute character.

21:31.040 --> 21:32.040
It's either a moira or...

21:32.040 --> 21:33.040
Hmm...

21:33.040 --> 21:34.040
A moira is a Batista.

21:34.040 --> 21:35.040
Oh, is that so?

21:35.040 --> 21:37.040
My hair is like a barf test.

21:37.040 --> 21:39.040
Oh, is that so?

21:39.040 --> 21:42.040
Since you're a healer, what are you going to do?

21:42.040 --> 21:43.040
Umm...

21:43.040 --> 21:44.040
Do you want to go home?

21:44.040 --> 21:46.040
No, no, no, no, no.

21:46.040 --> 21:48.040
Moira!

21:48.040 --> 21:50.040
Okay, let's see the reveal.

21:50.040 --> 21:52.040
It was not Moira.

21:52.040 --> 21:55.040
It was Soldier 76.

21:56.040 --> 21:58.040
Unlucky, you guys.

21:58.040 --> 22:01.040
Hopefully you'll be a little bit luckier in your matches.

22:01.040 --> 22:03.040
Good luck. Have fun.

22:03.040 --> 22:04.040
Thank you.

22:33.040 --> 22:39.040
and then you get all the blood out now!

22:44.040 --> 22:45.040
You look nervous.

22:45.040 --> 22:46.040
You look short.

22:47.040 --> 22:48.040
Everything's good?

22:48.040 --> 22:49.040
What?

22:54.040 --> 22:56.040
Okay.

22:56.040 --> 23:02.040
You really need the raps?

23:02.040 --> 23:05.040
Yeah, it feels like an overkill to me.

23:05.040 --> 23:08.040
Everyone is playing You're Not Yet.

23:08.040 --> 23:12.040

23:53.040 --> 24:14.560
Play is in our DNA, whenever we let it out, it becomes our super power.

24:14.560 --> 24:19.000
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.

24:19.000 --> 24:21.000
Hedia City, powered by play.

25:49.000 --> 26:08.520
And we are back live from Paris. Welcome to the eSports World Cup 2026 is the mid-season

26:08.520 --> 26:12.720
championship. We are here for Overwatch and I brought in some of the biggest brains in

26:12.720 --> 26:16.840
the game. We've got Jake alongside Jaws. I'm your host Chris Buggie. Jake, we're in

26:16.840 --> 26:21.200
day three. It's the final day of groups. We're going to be sending some people packing. It's

26:21.200 --> 26:24.500
time. We got to be eliminating some teams. I mean, there have been some really strong

26:24.500 --> 26:28.200
performances here at the Esports World Cup. But still, a lot of teams aren't going to

26:28.200 --> 26:33.440
be able to survive day three. This is when the real competition begins. Now, Josh, you

26:33.440 --> 26:38.080
may be the hardest working man in Overwatch. Your call time wasn't until three hours from

26:38.080 --> 26:42.480
now, but you wanted to be in early. You beat me here to the studio. Why are you so excited

26:42.480 --> 26:43.880
for group play.

26:43.880 --> 26:46.160
Key crushing, is that OK answer?

26:46.160 --> 26:47.400
Yes, great answer.

26:47.400 --> 26:49.000
A lot of them have crushed yesterday.

26:49.000 --> 26:49.720
I want some more.

26:49.720 --> 26:51.240
So you like watching dreams crush?

26:51.240 --> 26:51.720
Yeah.

26:51.720 --> 26:53.040
Oh, no, that's the fun part of it.

26:53.040 --> 26:54.720
Let's take a look at our groups and tell me

26:54.720 --> 26:56.400
whose keys are going to get crushed today,

26:56.400 --> 26:59.200
because in group B, we already have one team through.

26:59.200 --> 27:01.520
As we take a look at the decider matches down low,

27:01.520 --> 27:05.360
though, Jake, what do you expect to see as Team Secret

27:05.360 --> 27:08.520
is knocked out as JD Gaming moving on, as well as Vero,

27:08.520 --> 27:10.520
who will match up against Space Station?

27:10.520 --> 27:12.080
Yeah, tough to see teams go home,

27:12.080 --> 27:13.800
but that's how it has to be.

27:13.800 --> 27:15.920
Varel, I think they showed up pretty impressively,

27:15.920 --> 27:17.960
but to see them take on space Asian gaming,

27:17.960 --> 27:19.680
that's gonna be potentially a spicy one.

27:19.680 --> 27:21.360
Maybe some pressure on space Asian

27:21.360 --> 27:22.920
to deliver a strong performance.

27:22.920 --> 27:24.760
You know, being such an effective competitor

27:24.760 --> 27:26.040
out of North America,

27:26.040 --> 27:27.640
but now you kind of wonder,

27:27.640 --> 27:29.720
can Varel have a chance at the upset?

27:29.720 --> 27:32.080
Josh, space Asian knew they were the underdogs

27:32.080 --> 27:33.200
against Crazy Raccoon.

27:33.200 --> 27:35.160
In fact, Crazy Raccoon was our first team

27:35.160 --> 27:36.400
to make it out of Group B.

27:36.400 --> 27:38.040
So let's revisit that match,

27:38.040 --> 27:40.000
because it only went two maps.

27:40.000 --> 27:44.800
Okay, I've had some choice words about Domina over the last stage or so.

27:44.800 --> 27:46.200
That she wasn't good.

27:46.200 --> 27:49.100
I wish I used a different word than that, but yes, that she wasn't good.

27:49.100 --> 27:52.600
But she doesn't look so clean on the Domina right now.

27:52.600 --> 27:55.000
I think Crazy Raccoon is still the favorite to take at all,

27:55.000 --> 27:57.600
and this is a sign of almost immensely in my mind right now.

27:57.600 --> 27:58.500
They are the ones to beat.

27:58.500 --> 28:01.100
Crazy Raccoon looking clean in their victory.

28:01.100 --> 28:03.900
Was there a star performer or was this a team effort, Jake?

28:03.900 --> 28:08.100
I gotta say, watching Stalker has been an absolute treat in this tournament.

28:08.100 --> 28:10.060
I mean, he just lifted the trophy in Japan.

28:10.060 --> 28:12.380
He wants to do it again here in Paris.

28:12.380 --> 28:14.260
And they're certainly on the way to do it.

28:14.260 --> 28:17.220
I mean, this team looks so ready for modern Overwatch.

28:17.220 --> 28:18.900
They play just about everything,

28:18.900 --> 28:20.300
innovating their own new styles.

28:20.300 --> 28:22.780
The only team showing the domino,

28:22.780 --> 28:25.020
but that makes them so hard to prepare for

28:25.020 --> 28:27.420
and so effective at this level of global competition.

28:27.420 --> 28:29.940
Tell me, Stalker's looking for another EWC trophy,

28:29.940 --> 28:31.900
but with a different jersey this year?

28:31.900 --> 28:34.140
I mean, he might be one of the few players to do it.

28:34.140 --> 28:37.140
And honestly, his form is elite right now.

28:37.140 --> 28:39.500
He is ready to tangle with some of the top players in the world,

28:39.500 --> 28:42.240
which is, frankly, what's going to be required if they want to go the distance.

28:42.240 --> 28:47.120
As we take a look here at Group A, Virtus.Pro and Twisted Minds is the big match of the day,

28:47.120 --> 28:52.120
but the other semifinal is already done, and that decider match went to Wave-O.

28:52.120 --> 28:55.400
Probably the decider that we were all surprised to see.

28:55.400 --> 28:58.920
In fact, everyone on my analyst desk was calling in 2-0, Jaws.

28:58.920 --> 29:03.240
This went to a Game 3, and it's Gushway Squad walking away with the W.

29:03.240 --> 29:04.680
This one was so sick, man.

29:04.680 --> 29:07.260
There's an old adage in Overwatch.

29:07.260 --> 29:09.120
Sometimes Chinese Overwatch just shows up.

29:09.120 --> 29:10.120
That's about right.

29:10.120 --> 29:10.960
It just shows up, right?

29:10.960 --> 29:11.780
It just shows up.

29:11.780 --> 29:12.620
It's ridiculous.

29:12.620 --> 29:16.320
They went to two map buys versus Falcons over the last year,

29:16.320 --> 29:18.240
and they finally come away with a win.

29:18.240 --> 29:20.120
I mean, the crowd was going crazy.

29:20.120 --> 29:22.600
There was solely Gooshway and once again fans

29:22.600 --> 29:24.320
and Chinese Overwatch fans in the audience.

29:24.320 --> 29:25.400
It was just a blessing.

29:25.400 --> 29:27.120
Jake, what is the peak we've seen

29:27.120 --> 29:28.960
for Chinese Overwatch in the past?

29:28.960 --> 29:30.800
Have they ever broken into the top eight

29:30.800 --> 29:32.640
or even top four on the global scene?

29:32.640 --> 29:34.120
I mean, there was a time when we looked

29:34.120 --> 29:37.960
some of these players. I mean, leave and shy of the players that were on the top of the world.

29:37.960 --> 29:42.280
It's just been a long time since they've been able to deliver results like that. But a win over

29:42.280 --> 29:46.920
Falcons really gets you to start to believe in this Webo gaming team. They might be able to make

29:46.920 --> 29:53.000
magic happen just one more time. Once again, huge plays once the Kiriko is banned out. The

29:53.000 --> 29:59.000
auto comes in and you can see that leads to Webo's success in a game free of push. The Bastion

29:59.000 --> 30:04.040
cat drop. Is it coming back into play today or is it all Cassidy? I think that Bastion is going

30:04.040 --> 30:05.080
going to be very relevant.

30:05.080 --> 30:07.700
I mean, honestly, someone not going to the diva on that

30:07.700 --> 30:10.040
coliseal, I think it came back to bite them Falcons.

30:10.040 --> 30:12.040
They're certainly going to be stung from that loss,

30:12.040 --> 30:13.840
but they're not out of the tournament just yet.

30:13.840 --> 30:16.760
And with the four merits been in and the Cassidy in particular,

30:16.760 --> 30:19.680
you'd be kind of crazy, I think, to count them out this early.

30:19.680 --> 30:22.440
Anyone they go up against this time, it'll be T1 today.

30:22.440 --> 30:24.840
That could be spicy with a lot of expectations,

30:24.840 --> 30:27.320
a lot of drama, personal history between the players

30:27.320 --> 30:27.920
on those teams.

30:27.920 --> 30:30.520
Six teams are making their way through today.

30:30.520 --> 30:33.120
Lock in for an excellent day of Overwatch action

30:33.120 --> 30:38.320
here at EWC for now though. Let's check in with Fancy ahead of the matchup today for

30:38.320 --> 30:42.800
Toyset of Mines against VP. I'm Jordan Havlaisi Zalashid from the organization itself, the

30:42.800 --> 30:47.480
co-owner. I need you to give me a little bit of an insight in terms of what the expectations

30:47.480 --> 30:51.760
are this year for CC because it doesn't feel like you guys are doing too hot in comparison

30:51.760 --> 30:52.760
to last year.

30:52.760 --> 30:56.560
And we compared to last year, we were at the place. Thank you guys. Everyone is so high

30:56.560 --> 31:00.680
that can't wait for the match to start. But before that, when in terms of the club championship,

31:00.680 --> 31:04.400
speaking yes we might not be doing as well as we did last year but we still

31:04.400 --> 31:07.940
have so many games to jump into and once we jump into those games I think we're

31:07.940 --> 31:10.820
gonna rock up points really quickly. I'm assuming that Overwatch is going to be one

31:10.820 --> 31:13.640
of these games. Definitely. You guys have historically had a good performance here.

31:13.640 --> 31:17.000
You're playing VP today so I want to hear the expectations and the

31:17.000 --> 31:22.000
predictions from you but also from them but I'm gonna start with you. Well for me

31:22.000 --> 31:25.280
I mean we had an interview yesterday with Quarze where he said that it's gonna

31:25.280 --> 31:29.240
be a 2-0 I mean yes the you know the meta changed a little bit and might not be

31:29.240 --> 31:34.000
favouring Twisted Minds right now, but I think the guys' ability to adapt to whatever the

31:34.000 --> 31:37.280
meta is, is what made them the world champions last year.

31:37.280 --> 31:40.160
And I think that they're going to continue with their performance and it should be an

31:40.160 --> 31:41.160
easy 2-0.

31:41.160 --> 31:42.160
Really, it's not a big deal.

31:42.160 --> 31:44.160
12-1, it's going to be a 2-0.

31:44.160 --> 31:46.160
What are you saying?

31:46.160 --> 31:50.400
Consensus seems to be online, but then in general, I want to have a conversation about

31:50.400 --> 31:52.400
the club championship points overall.

31:52.400 --> 31:56.560
When it comes to this year, what is the focus moving forward because of course, you had

31:56.560 --> 32:01.720
a lot of rosters that were looking to qualify that didn't happen so what now I mean yes there

32:01.720 --> 32:05.760
are a few rosters that we were hoping that they're gonna be able to get at least a few

32:05.760 --> 32:10.160
club championship points such as EFC, sweet fighter and able to succeed especially able

32:10.160 --> 32:13.240
to succeed after the Southlake major we thought that they get definitely gonna be here but

32:13.240 --> 32:17.360
then yeah I mean things got complicated a little bit and the players weren't able to

32:17.360 --> 32:22.440
do well though but we couldn't qualify and I can barely hear myself at this point so

32:22.440 --> 32:23.440
I don't know.

32:23.440 --> 32:24.440
We're just gonna get it out of here.

32:24.440 --> 32:25.440
Thanks, you guys.

32:25.440 --> 32:26.440
You're welcome.

32:26.440 --> 32:27.440
Woo!

33:22.440 --> 33:24.440
I

34:22.440 --> 34:34.440
What's good everyone Zoey here joined by Fernando the head of Overwatch eSports what did we just

34:34.440 --> 34:39.440
watch Fernando? Well Zoey you just got to see the official reveal of the Overwatch low-top

34:39.440 --> 34:44.440
jerseys. Oh and I see you're wearing some of that let's talk about the design here. Yeah

34:44.440 --> 34:49.440
yeah I'm wearing team Korea right here so you know the designs are very unique each one

34:49.440 --> 34:53.520
One of the teams is going to get its own unique model and design.

34:53.520 --> 34:58.840
The other really cool thing about these jerseys is you can identify the regions by the colors.

34:58.840 --> 35:02.360
So each one of the regions is going to have a different color design and it's going to

35:02.360 --> 35:04.360
be very easy to spot.

35:04.360 --> 35:09.080
Okay, so it's based on the regions that we have at EMEA color, Korea color, etc.

35:09.080 --> 35:13.360
Yeah, EMEA color and America's color and then Asia color.

35:13.360 --> 35:14.360
I see so many details.

35:14.360 --> 35:16.120
We see the Overwatch logo in there.

35:16.120 --> 35:20.320
So, three stars at the top of the Korean Nova? Is that for how many times they won?

35:20.320 --> 35:24.320
Yeah, so all of our previous champions will have a start to indicate how many championships

35:24.320 --> 35:26.320
they won in previous World Cups.

35:26.320 --> 35:29.760
Alright, Fred Brickman, it's your time to shine, right? You've got golden pants and

35:29.760 --> 35:33.920
a roster now, so you've got to step it up. Fernando, when can people get it? Because

35:33.920 --> 35:37.120
I'm obviously just going to run away with this archer stealing, I'm going to be honest

35:37.120 --> 35:41.320
with you, but the general folks out there, when can they get their hands on these jerseys?

35:41.320 --> 35:45.020
Yeah, so our fans will be able to get these jerseys very soon, so make sure to follow

36:15.020 --> 36:17.080
you

36:45.020 --> 36:47.080
you

37:15.020 --> 37:17.080
you

37:45.020 --> 37:47.080
you

38:15.020 --> 38:17.080
you

38:45.020 --> 39:06.700
We've got something called Who's Like Hero, and I want you to see which one you think it

39:06.700 --> 39:07.700
is.

39:07.700 --> 39:09.700
So let's roll the first one.

39:09.700 --> 39:10.700
Very slow.

39:10.700 --> 39:11.700
Same as a pro!

39:11.700 --> 39:13.700
Same! Here's a pro!

39:13.700 --> 39:15.700
I mean, you are an actual pro, but...

39:15.700 --> 39:16.700
Oh, this game too!

39:16.700 --> 39:17.700
Yeah! It's Tracer!

39:17.700 --> 39:18.700
Okay!

39:18.700 --> 39:19.700
Let's go to the next one!

39:19.700 --> 39:20.700
Streetrun!

39:21.700 --> 39:22.700
What is this?

39:22.700 --> 39:23.700
Junkrat?

39:23.700 --> 39:24.700
It's Junkrat.

39:24.700 --> 39:25.700
Is it a tank?

39:25.700 --> 39:26.700
It's a tari burger.

39:26.700 --> 39:27.700
What is this?

39:27.700 --> 39:28.700
Ah, Junkrat.

39:28.700 --> 39:29.700
Ah, Junkrat.

39:29.700 --> 39:30.700
Yeah, that is Junkrat.

39:30.700 --> 39:32.700
Why did you think it's me?

39:32.700 --> 39:33.700
Uh...

39:33.700 --> 39:34.700
It's stupid.

39:36.700 --> 39:38.700
Okay, let's see the third one.

39:38.700 --> 39:52.260
You're really good at this, yeah. It's mercy. Okay, let's see if you can continue the streak.

39:52.260 --> 39:57.100
Rodog. Rodog. Rodog. Yeah.

39:57.100 --> 40:01.580
Yeah. Rodog. Okay, let's see the next one.

40:01.580 --> 40:03.580
Ripper

40:03.580 --> 40:05.200
5 for 5

40:05.200 --> 40:07.200
Okay, let's have a look at 6

40:09.200 --> 40:10.200
Alon?

40:10.200 --> 40:11.200
Alon

40:11.200 --> 40:12.700
That's a really good skin, Shima's skin

40:12.700 --> 40:13.700
It's a good skin

40:13.700 --> 40:15.200
Shima's skin is really good

40:15.200 --> 40:16.200
It's a good skin

40:16.200 --> 40:18.200
Is Alon that kind of skin?

40:18.200 --> 40:19.200
Really?

40:19.200 --> 40:20.200
Yes

40:20.200 --> 40:21.200
There's no color

40:21.200 --> 40:22.200
Alon

40:22.200 --> 40:24.200
Oh

40:24.200 --> 40:25.700
This one's freaky

40:25.700 --> 40:27.200
Yeah, it's Kerika

40:27.200 --> 40:29.200
Who's the victory player?

40:29.200 --> 40:30.700
It's the first time

40:30.700 --> 40:39.700
Okay, let's see if you can redeem yourselves with the last one.

40:39.700 --> 40:43.700
Ah, Moira.

40:43.700 --> 40:44.700
Pink Halloween.

40:44.700 --> 40:45.700
Moira.

40:45.700 --> 40:46.700
Moira?

40:46.700 --> 40:47.700
She's holding it.

40:47.700 --> 40:49.700
Do you have a character?

40:49.700 --> 40:51.700
Do you have to do that with your eyes?

40:51.700 --> 40:52.700
Now, with the O-WATCHER?

40:52.700 --> 40:54.700
Yeah, O-WATCHER.

40:54.700 --> 40:57.700
We haven't tried to trick you guys.

40:57.700 --> 40:59.700
You have to look at your legs well.

40:59.700 --> 41:01.700
You look like a character.

41:01.700 --> 41:03.700
You're not Moira.

41:03.700 --> 41:06.700
Your hair is like a Pakistan.

41:06.700 --> 41:08.700
Oh, really?

41:08.700 --> 41:11.700
You're a hero, so you're going to make a decision.

41:11.700 --> 41:13.700
Umm...

41:13.700 --> 41:14.700
Am I going to buy it?

41:14.700 --> 41:15.700
No, no, no, no.

41:15.700 --> 41:16.700
Moira.

41:16.700 --> 41:17.700
Moira?

41:17.700 --> 41:18.700
Oh...

41:18.700 --> 41:20.700
Okay, let's see the reveal.

41:20.700 --> 41:22.700
It was not Moira.

41:22.700 --> 41:25.700
It was soldiers 76.

41:25.700 --> 41:31.460
Oh, unlucky, guys, hopefully you'll be a little bit luckier in your matches.

41:31.460 --> 41:33.460
Good luck. Have fun. Thank you.

41:36.180 --> 41:39.700
Some happy Falcons right there. And we have a very happy Falcon fan.

41:39.700 --> 41:44.420
She goes by the name of Gennaro, and she joins us live to talk about the club championship.

41:44.420 --> 41:47.460
Are you avoiding the allegations? Are you not a Falcon's fan?

41:48.740 --> 41:49.940
If I speak, I am in troubles.

41:50.980 --> 41:54.660
Dad, what we're going to do is we're going to talk about the club championship, which is

41:54.660 --> 41:59.860
A very big topic of conversation when we're looking at ELWC. We even have like a whole totem set up for that as well

41:59.860 --> 42:03.220
So I'm gonna throw you guys a little boss. Okay. Do you know what?

42:03.220 --> 42:07.060
Okay, no way. This is a quiz. No, no, no, no, no, no.

42:07.060 --> 42:09.060
I was pretty on the spot. They're like, I'm surprised.

42:09.620 --> 42:12.500
But do you guys know what the prize pool is for a club champion?

42:12.500 --> 42:14.180
$75 million. Easy.

42:15.060 --> 42:16.420
Easy. You're so cool.

42:16.420 --> 42:18.180
He read the assignment.

42:19.140 --> 42:19.780
I just guessed.

42:20.580 --> 42:21.620
It's kind of really confident.

42:21.620 --> 42:23.780
I think maybe $75 is what the total for the whole event.

42:23.780 --> 42:27.780
30 for the club championship, but what does first place get seven million dollars?

42:27.780 --> 42:28.780
Second place.

42:28.780 --> 42:29.780
All right.

42:29.780 --> 42:30.780
She's pocket money.

42:30.780 --> 42:31.780
What would you buy with seven million dollars?

42:31.780 --> 42:32.780
Yeah.

42:32.780 --> 42:33.780
You.

42:33.780 --> 42:34.780
Oh, wow.

42:34.780 --> 42:35.780
All right, man.

42:35.780 --> 42:36.780
And now I'm looking at Puckett.

42:36.780 --> 42:37.780
Puckett.

42:37.780 --> 42:39.780
So winner first place gets seven million dollars.

42:39.780 --> 42:43.780
So of course that is something that a lot of the organizations are looking to compete

42:43.780 --> 42:44.780
for and to get.

42:44.780 --> 42:49.780
Falcons, as you are a big fan of Puckett, they won it in 24 and 25.

42:49.780 --> 42:51.780
Do you think they can do it in 26?

42:51.780 --> 42:58.380
They are off to a slow start, but I was watching warzone after we finished overwatch last night. His soco was frying

42:58.380 --> 43:02.940
So they could get a thousand points there. It's gonna come down to chess potentially

43:02.940 --> 43:09.000
Can they take down Magnus Carlson at the end of it all or will they wait for Nico and CS go to pull them through?

43:09.000 --> 43:13.700
They got a few options, but this is the most uncomfortable. They've ever been in a club championship

43:13.700 --> 43:16.580
I'm silly correct, and it's not just Falcons that are struggling with this

43:16.580 --> 43:22.420
It's also team liquid wish was the runner up last year guys. They're finishing week forward zero points

43:22.420 --> 43:24.420
Like it's a womp womp situation

43:24.980 --> 43:30.340
It's not looking good. No, I mean did we have expectations for them in Overwatch to at least make it's top eight? No

43:31.140 --> 43:36.020
I mean, honestly, it's been a rough year for them for a team like good in Overwatch. We're not super to surprise

43:37.300 --> 43:40.900
Yeah, but like they added a lot of new pieces in just the last stage

43:40.980 --> 43:44.580
So I think the last few weeks for them was just like finding a footing finding their identity

43:44.580 --> 43:50.520
So going up against international competition like that, like it wasn't theirs to win as I said yesterday zero points for

43:50.520 --> 43:56.480
I know which is a horrible position to be in they have 10 titles that they're competing in but Falcons got 20

43:56.820 --> 43:59.480
teams competing they have a thousand four hundred points

43:59.520 --> 44:06.340
But it's kind of going back to last year where Falcons actually was the only team that they were the only title that they're able to win

44:06.340 --> 44:09.820
Was over a while so coming here as a title defenders

44:09.820 --> 44:17.820
You got to expect them to win it again because if you don't win, you don't even get the chance to lift that trophy or get that $7 million, regardless of how many points you have.

44:17.820 --> 44:21.820
Oh, they had a rough year in Overwatch thus far, so they're only really just now turning it up.

44:21.820 --> 44:24.820
So maybe this is the, I don't know, Cinderella run here?

44:24.820 --> 44:28.820
I mean, taking that lost away, well, it's not a great sign for Falcons, right?

44:28.820 --> 44:31.820
To your point, you know, getting that win is so crucial.

44:31.820 --> 44:34.820
Overwatch is a tough game to do it, though, because there's fierce competition right now.

44:34.820 --> 44:37.820
I mean, Crazy Raccoon, super-threatening, twisted minds as well.

44:37.820 --> 44:42.620
as well. There's a lot of heavy hitters coming for that first slot. For Falcons, a win would be an overperformance.

44:42.620 --> 44:48.220
I want to talk about Twisted Minds as well, because they were fourth last year when it comes to cup championship on par with VP.

44:48.220 --> 44:53.320
So that's the first match that we have today. So either one of these teams, if you get top 8 as an automatic 200 points,

44:53.320 --> 44:55.820
do we want to throw like our predictions in the ring?

44:55.820 --> 44:59.320
Courts. I ride with Courts any time he's at an event.

44:59.320 --> 45:03.320
You ride it down. Honestly, that's fair. I think it's going to be extremely competitive.

45:03.320 --> 45:06.820
It's been extremely competitive in the EMEA region, especially between those two teams.

45:06.820 --> 45:12.060
teams. It was a change of like royalty. VP really stepped it up this year when undefeated

45:12.060 --> 45:15.500
and twisted minds that kind of struggled for a few weeks trying to find their footing in

45:15.500 --> 45:19.460
this meta. But I think at the right time they started turning it up and their initial performance

45:19.460 --> 45:22.780
is here. I have actually impressed me. Struggling seems to be the name of the game

45:22.780 --> 45:26.180
though for a lot of the organizations that did well last year in the club championship

45:26.180 --> 45:29.860
because then like when we look at twisted minds, they were forward. But if we're bringing

45:29.860 --> 45:33.620
up the standings and look at where they are sitting right now, it's about 12. They're

45:33.620 --> 45:37.860
really struggling to get some bell some points under their belt and it's just not looking good

45:37.860 --> 45:45.220
whereas Navi is currently first 2,250 points they've already got two wins which is incredible

45:45.220 --> 45:48.820
because i don't think anyone was really counting on them to be able to show up and i know there's not

45:48.820 --> 45:53.220
too relevant uh to Overwatch i mean Navi Overwatch roaster when

45:56.980 --> 46:01.620
they put them back in the points here in Overwatch well Navi is not here but vertus pro

46:01.620 --> 46:03.460
is there in the number two spot.

46:03.460 --> 46:05.180
Ginny, thank you so much for joining us.

46:05.180 --> 46:06.820
We got to get to this first match though.

46:06.820 --> 46:09.020
Do you think VP wins it?

46:09.020 --> 46:11.140
I'm going to have to say no, because otherwise I will get

46:11.140 --> 46:12.460
schmurdered by Fancy.

46:12.460 --> 46:13.460
That's really fair.

46:13.460 --> 46:15.140
No schmurdering happening on this show.

46:15.140 --> 46:17.740
Let's jump into the action as we remind you,

46:17.740 --> 46:20.420
how Virtus.pro got to this position to play

46:20.420 --> 46:22.020
into the playoff bracket.

46:22.020 --> 46:24.700
So the impressive plays all across the board

46:24.700 --> 46:26.460
landed and joined us in the post show.

46:26.460 --> 46:28.780
And it was all smiles for the young star.

46:28.780 --> 46:30.460
What have you seen from the back line?

46:30.460 --> 46:32.700
And who have you enjoyed watching on the front line?

46:32.700 --> 46:35.300
I mean, honestly, for this team, I'm just enjoying it.

46:35.300 --> 46:39.060
Everyone Kevser is playing some of the best over what he has in his entire career.

46:39.060 --> 46:39.560
Okay.

46:39.560 --> 46:41.260
He's crazy since he's been around the block.

46:41.260 --> 46:41.760
Yeah.

46:41.760 --> 46:47.160
But, you know, Ice-Nom is still just one of the players to watch out for here with the flexibility.

46:47.160 --> 46:52.060
We talked so much about his glow-up that he had over the last couple of months, last year even.

46:52.060 --> 46:58.060
So for him to be like this, this younger player, this newer player playing with those veteran players,

46:58.060 --> 47:00.820
in the rest of the squad. Asia's matching really well.

47:00.820 --> 47:03.820
Jake, this of course is our Sony story of the day.

47:03.820 --> 47:06.660
It's the clash of the EMEA powerhouses for anyone

47:06.660 --> 47:09.020
who doesn't watch, overwatch on a regular basis.

47:09.020 --> 47:11.180
Why is this such a big battle?

47:11.180 --> 47:12.860
I mean, over the last couple of years,

47:12.860 --> 47:14.520
you would have said Twisted Minds are a heavy,

47:14.520 --> 47:16.900
favorite squad, but Virtus.Pro, this year,

47:16.900 --> 47:18.660
they've stepped it up in a huge way.

47:18.660 --> 47:20.900
This squad, right now, they're the top in EMEA.

47:20.900 --> 47:22.940
However, Twisted Minds, for me, they're a team

47:22.940 --> 47:25.140
that they don't really show their true form

47:25.140 --> 47:26.420
until it comes to a LAN.

47:26.420 --> 47:29.260
This is a team that takes qualification for granted,

47:29.260 --> 47:32.160
and is really looking to get these meddling performances

47:32.160 --> 47:34.160
on LAN, and honestly, for VP,

47:34.160 --> 47:37.460
I'm hesitant to call them much of a favorite,

47:37.460 --> 47:39.000
given that history of Twisted Minds

47:39.000 --> 47:40.400
popping off from the pressure diet.

47:40.400 --> 47:41.760
So, I don't know if you hear it,

47:41.760 --> 47:44.000
but the drums are here for Twisted Minds.

47:44.000 --> 47:44.840
They're on a D.

47:44.840 --> 47:49.000
See you of pink and blue making their way into the stands.

47:49.000 --> 47:50.600
TM, they travel well.

47:50.600 --> 47:52.280
They've got a strong fan base.

47:52.280 --> 47:54.160
If you're looking for strength in their gameplay,

47:54.160 --> 47:55.080
what do you like?

47:55.080 --> 47:58.040
Well, honestly, I like the changes that they made coming into here, right?

47:58.040 --> 48:00.640
Like they made some changes in what they like to play.

48:00.640 --> 48:04.280
We talked about how they avoided the Cat Bastion throughout the last stage.

48:04.280 --> 48:06.200
Now they really picked it up in their first match already.

48:06.200 --> 48:08.400
They looked really, really good, really competent.

48:08.400 --> 48:10.840
UV is in the mix very much for them, of course.

48:10.840 --> 48:13.600
And he's doing such a phenomenal job, not just on the server,

48:13.600 --> 48:15.840
but it's the shot calling, it's the veterans' seat,

48:15.840 --> 48:18.880
it's the strategic depth that he brings to this team as well.

48:18.880 --> 48:20.440
So right now they're looking really scary.

48:20.440 --> 48:24.080
Could Twisted Minds win without a Symmetra in the game, Jake?

48:24.080 --> 48:25.560
I mean, they've shown that they can, right?

48:25.560 --> 48:27.440
Especially in this first of two format,

48:27.440 --> 48:28.400
typically you'd look at that and say,

48:28.400 --> 48:29.760
hey, this should be a weakness.

48:29.760 --> 48:32.160
You know, a sim band is gonna be one of three maps

48:32.160 --> 48:33.000
in the series.

48:33.000 --> 48:34.400
Like that should hurt Twisted Minds,

48:34.400 --> 48:36.880
but you'd be shown he's so much more than a sim one trick.

48:36.880 --> 48:39.040
I mean, it's definitely the most dangerous weapon

48:39.040 --> 48:40.600
in the Twisted Minds arsenal,

48:40.600 --> 48:42.520
but they've shown that they can get wins without it.

48:42.520 --> 48:44.560
And that makes them a very difficult opponent

48:44.560 --> 48:45.400
to prepare for.

48:45.400 --> 48:48.520
CVNT, a much better player than he is drummer,

48:48.520 --> 48:50.080
but he got to celebrate with the fans

48:50.080 --> 48:51.280
at the end of their last match.

48:51.280 --> 48:52.720
Will he do it again?

48:52.720 --> 48:54.300
Well, if you're looking at the numbers,

48:54.300 --> 48:56.940
TM has had their edge in the Champions clash.

48:56.940 --> 48:59.640
They also took them down in the EMEA Stage 1 finals

48:59.640 --> 49:00.900
and the regular season.

49:00.900 --> 49:05.580
So recently though, that match was a 3-0 with a Virtus.Pro.

49:05.580 --> 49:06.820
And Twisted Minds was struggling.

49:06.820 --> 49:09.740
Virtus.Pro have been just basically unbeatable,

49:09.740 --> 49:12.400
untouchable up until the playoffs where they started

49:12.400 --> 49:14.820
to actually drop maps.

49:14.820 --> 49:16.180
Twisted Minds had to work for those,

49:16.180 --> 49:18.180
and Virtus.Pro has still looked really, really strong.

49:18.180 --> 49:19.860
Your eyes are so blue on this set today.

49:19.860 --> 49:21.620
So here's Jake, let's start with you.

49:21.620 --> 49:22.580
Who is going to win this one?

49:22.580 --> 49:24.860
Just kidding, you got to run out of blue eyes.

49:24.860 --> 49:26.420
I've got twists and minds.

49:26.420 --> 49:28.940
This is a team that turns up to another level on LAN.

49:28.940 --> 49:31.060
It's a bit of a chaotic prediction,

49:31.060 --> 49:32.900
but I still think this is going to be their day.

49:32.900 --> 49:34.300
So, and I go in the other way.

49:34.300 --> 49:36.260
It's time to send it to the stage

49:36.260 --> 49:38.260
to get our first match of the day started.

49:38.260 --> 49:54.020
The best players in the world, the best teams in the world, you won't say because that's

49:54.020 --> 49:56.020
WC is over us.

50:24.020 --> 50:27.020
This looks so good for us, but jeez, and they're just going to pull through the fucking ladder!

50:27.020 --> 50:28.020
What is control play?

50:32.020 --> 50:36.020
Assault after assault after assault from J.E.G.

50:36.020 --> 50:39.020
These team play a guilt streak as well as the pineapple.

50:54.020 --> 51:20.020
Hello Paris, Bonjour Paris!

51:20.020 --> 51:24.660
Yesterday we learned how the Overwatch Champions Series 2026

51:24.660 --> 51:30.260
mid-season championship at the Esports World Cup, the winners are rewarded, of course they are,

51:30.260 --> 51:36.100
but losers, it's brutal, it's punishing, it's crushing, quite literally, Lynn.

51:36.100 --> 51:39.620
Yeah, it is quite brutal for the losers. Bonjour tout le monde, hello Ian.

51:39.620 --> 51:40.100
Bonjour.

51:40.100 --> 51:45.140
We had to be with you for this last day of group stage because yes, it is brutal for the losers.

51:45.140 --> 51:47.540
Effectivement, quand tu perds, ta clé se fait exploser.

51:47.540 --> 51:53.340
There's no loser bracket in play-off, but for the winner, you take a look at that trophy,

51:53.340 --> 51:58.020
you compete for $1 million prize pool, and it gets bigger and bigger and bigger, the

51:58.020 --> 51:59.020
further you go.

51:59.020 --> 52:04.260
And two teams looking to get their hands on this trophy and a big piece of pie across

52:04.260 --> 52:06.820
two of EMEA's big dogs.

52:06.820 --> 52:09.540
Les Tunes, Los Ailes, La Monnée, yeah, you go for it.

52:09.540 --> 52:10.540
Shall we bring them out?

52:10.540 --> 52:11.540
Go, let's go.

52:11.540 --> 52:15.540
Please welcome, on to the stage, Virtus Pro!

52:17.540 --> 52:30.500
They went undefeated through EMEA Stage 2 and survived the 7 map regional final to claim

52:30.500 --> 52:32.500
the number one seed.

52:32.500 --> 52:36.860
On opening day here in Paris they've carried that same authority onto the international

52:36.860 --> 52:37.860
stage.

52:37.860 --> 52:44.300
Today they face the reigning world champions and a win here does more than reach the playoffs.

52:44.300 --> 52:50.300
They make it clear that EMEA's new number one is ready to challenge for the world number one.

52:50.300 --> 52:55.300
There's some booing here, but here they are, twisted!

52:55.300 --> 52:58.300
More!

53:01.300 --> 53:08.300
The crowd's favourites, the OWCS World Champions, crowned in Sweden last year.

53:08.300 --> 53:14.300
Some of their players are contestants to the title of the best players in the world.

53:14.300 --> 53:16.300
The pride of Saudi.

53:16.300 --> 53:23.300
Finally, a team of players who can rival with the Korean hegemonies in any case in 2025.

53:23.300 --> 53:26.300
Can they be great? Again.

53:26.300 --> 53:30.300
Ladies and gentlemen, the EMEA Derby is calling.

53:30.300 --> 53:33.300
On one side, the team that conquered the region.

53:33.300 --> 53:36.300
On the other, the team that conquered the world.

53:36.300 --> 53:41.440
Today, only one of them secures the first playoffs place in Group A.

53:41.440 --> 53:44.480
Paris, makes them nice!

53:47.600 --> 53:52.300
Well, folks, you asked for a bit of a banger, and frankly, we're about to deliver it.

53:52.300 --> 53:56.300
The championship experience versus championship form.

53:56.300 --> 54:03.460
Let us, bro, might have won the latest chapter of the twisted minds in here to remind us who wrote the book, Matt.

54:03.460 --> 54:07.980
Yeah, I mean, but VP has been unreal as of late.

54:07.980 --> 54:12.320
You know, a lot of talk about like kind of Kevser coming back into form and I believe that's true.

54:12.320 --> 54:17.180
I think really kind of what's elevated this team, though, is obviously adding Landon and Psycho.

54:17.180 --> 54:21.980
And then Ice Nome has been the best tank in the NBA this year, I would say.

54:21.980 --> 54:27.400
You know, Ziad obviously making a comeback, you know, for that title and crown, you know, with GK,

54:27.400 --> 54:29.320
which we'll see a little bit later today.

54:29.320 --> 54:37.320
But TVNT on the other side had been really kind of the go-to, you know, really kind of star player in terms of that role in EMEA.

54:37.320 --> 54:44.320
Probably since the mid-season championship last year. But really, IceNorm has been unreal here the last few months.

54:44.320 --> 54:53.320
At that time, IceNorm was being rotated in to play Symmetra on Virtus.Pro. There's a weird time the last few years IceNorm woke up.

54:53.320 --> 55:00.040
But now he's found his home and he has certainly risen it to the occasion and we've been a risk if we didn't

55:00.160 --> 55:01.720
address the elephant in the room.

55:01.720 --> 55:06.160
Psycho was a huge opponent of twisted mind success last year

55:06.160 --> 55:10.660
even if he spent a fair bit of time standing behind the team with that headset on now

55:10.660 --> 55:15.640
He's in the server ready for a bit. He played a good amount for that team like last year

55:15.640 --> 55:20.520
Like maybe not exactly like world finals towards the end, but like you know, he can play tracer

55:20.520 --> 55:24.020
I think you know if you're kind of comparing him and you be at the head

55:24.020 --> 55:26.640
I think like Cyclops hero pool is much deeper

55:26.640 --> 55:31.900
I think I know sim obviously you probably would favor you become maybe the best of the world at that hero

55:31.900 --> 55:35.200
but every other one you kind of get that advantage psycho and

55:35.640 --> 55:39.760
Twisted mind actually just kind of trades psycho essentially for J. Woo thinking okay

55:39.760 --> 55:44.640
Well, they would just fit all that stuff but that exactly has not worked out this season at all

55:44.800 --> 55:49.040
And I think we're here today to address whether or not there's a changing of the guard in

55:49.040 --> 55:57.440
EMEA, Virtus.Pro. Pretty impressive stuff in Stage 2. There were scrappy matches to get them of course

55:57.440 --> 56:02.320
to that championship. GK'd over the one that pushed them. Not so much twisted minds.

56:03.200 --> 56:08.320
That's what we're here to see and I think that is a question of whether peeking too early is

56:08.320 --> 56:13.760
an issue right-winning EMEA Stage 2. Very important but you have to consider it in the

56:13.760 --> 56:18.320
landscape of the rest of the year as a stepping stone. It's a qualification game to get you to

56:18.320 --> 56:25.200
events such as these where you can really, really throw down. And honestly, I'm very impressed with

56:25.200 --> 56:28.400
what we've seen from this latest iteration on Twisted Minds. They do want to lean into those

56:28.400 --> 56:32.720
Symmetra comps a little bit more frequently. In the past, it's not exactly been a hallmark

56:32.720 --> 56:36.480
of Virtus.Pro's game plan, the fact that they had to use a tank player instead of a roll.

56:36.480 --> 56:40.480
But now with Seiko, it's a completely different world, right? Obviously, he's going to have a

56:40.480 --> 56:45.520
great read on kind of how Twisted Mind is going to want to set up some of these plays. It'll be

56:45.520 --> 56:54.200
be Nepal. Map number one. I'm curious. Okay, so Afara and Diva ban here. So, Diva gone.

56:54.200 --> 56:58.160
Obviously that's like TVNT is going to go to. So take that out of the equation. Very

56:58.160 --> 57:02.720
good on Ramachra as well, right? But I think that's something that Iceman probably feels

57:02.720 --> 57:10.120
pretty good taking that head to head. Oh man. Europe's old Kings versus Europe's new Kings.

57:10.120 --> 57:13.880
Is anyone throwing a seed on here in Paris? And frankly, there's a large number of other

57:13.880 --> 57:19.440
teams that still stand in the way. So of course, a win here, hooks your ticket to play off,

57:19.440 --> 57:24.160
so loss here does not mean that your tournament is over, but that lower bracket is looking

57:24.160 --> 57:25.160
pretty brutal.

57:25.160 --> 57:29.640
And you're going to play another game today, right? That's like kind of the really rough

57:29.640 --> 57:34.680
sense of it. You have to play another game.

57:34.680 --> 57:40.360
I see the resemblance. You might have a couple inches on course, but outside of that, when

57:40.360 --> 57:43.400
When it's a player, we're going to be spotlighting pretty heavily in this series.

57:43.400 --> 57:46.120
Because when Quartz dominates those sidelines,

57:46.120 --> 57:48.200
Twisted Minds tend to dominate those series.

57:48.200 --> 57:52.680
Still one of the most respected, feared, hip-scan players in the entire world.

57:52.680 --> 57:56.320
This would be an extra brutal loss, I feel like, for VP,

57:56.320 --> 58:00.080
in the sense that you were so good in EMEA,

58:00.080 --> 58:04.640
you kind of put your gap between yourselves and Twisted Minds in that region

58:04.640 --> 58:07.600
during that stage, and then you get that first seed from EMEA,

58:07.600 --> 58:09.560
you come to the event and you lose to TM anyway,

58:09.560 --> 58:12.120
then you have to play another game that day as well.

58:13.120 --> 58:14.160
It's a VP team.

58:14.160 --> 58:16.680
Look, I think either of these teams could be in the final of this event.

58:16.680 --> 58:18.600
That's how good they have been this year.

58:19.240 --> 58:23.600
First Pro and Twisted Minds dotched each other in the EMEA playoffs,

58:23.600 --> 58:27.680
but in the regular group, Twisted Minds got absolutely flattened.

58:27.680 --> 58:28.960
Isn't it a new era for the Bears?

58:28.960 --> 58:30.960
They're changing of the guard in EMEA.

58:30.960 --> 58:35.720
We're about to find out and we're about to delegate our first team

58:35.720 --> 58:38.240
into our eSports World Cup playoffs.

58:39.560 --> 58:45.600
We've seen a lot of teams play in some Domina here throughout this week, we've seen it on

58:45.600 --> 58:46.600
Nepal as well.

58:46.600 --> 58:47.760
Why is Jack such a hider?

58:47.760 --> 58:48.760
I like it.

58:48.760 --> 58:57.240
I mean, it kind of tries to, Domina as a hero, right, kind of wants to fit that poke style

58:57.240 --> 59:01.480
that like a sick wood, it's just sick, it's like really good at everything.

59:01.480 --> 59:06.840
Potentially Domina, though against some Reinhardt could be a favorable matchup as, it'll be

59:06.840 --> 59:12.360
Simbassion for both sides as well. Just a difference in terms of the tank.

59:13.320 --> 59:16.600
Alright, let's play some Overwatch. Folks, I'm just trying to start things up and already

59:16.600 --> 59:22.440
Icegum is trying to poke down. TVNT on the Rhine though. It's going to be looking to close the gap

59:22.440 --> 59:27.800
whenever possible. Nice little TP there, get some Dremel and a line of sight. This Domino

59:27.800 --> 59:32.360
wall is still relevant in this position. Yeah, you're able, you know, with the Domino Rage,

59:32.360 --> 59:35.260
They're just kind of putting consistent damage out on that Rhyne shield, but

59:35.760 --> 59:38.960
Quartz finds Peps through there on a little bit of an off angle.

59:40.360 --> 59:42.660
That's pretty massive. Also Bastion with a high right of fire.

59:42.660 --> 59:45.360
Can't really shoot through these Domino Barriers quite quickly.

59:45.560 --> 59:49.960
Sarkoze's gonna be the next to fall and Quartz has already stepped his authority on the early part of this round.

59:51.260 --> 59:54.860
I wonder if you're gonna see some changes from VP as they back on out, but

59:54.960 --> 59:56.960
Isil actually catches Quartz there. Quartz

59:57.260 --> 01:00:01.060
and maybe pushed up a little bit too far. Didn't assume TP to get out. That's a huge pick off.

01:00:01.060 --> 01:00:03.500
There was looking for more, but TBMT can staple.

01:00:03.500 --> 01:00:05.340
The vast majority of this is not going to damage it.

01:00:05.340 --> 01:00:08.780
Quick about face there for Virtus Pro, as they see the Tiki getting twisted behind

01:00:08.780 --> 01:00:10.380
in position for a consumer rush.

01:00:10.380 --> 01:00:11.580
TBMT needs to charge back.

01:00:11.580 --> 01:00:15.340
He needs some help, but his shield is cracked, and he is about to fall.

01:00:15.340 --> 01:00:17.900
The damage, just too much here for Virtus Pro.

01:00:17.900 --> 01:00:20.260
Snow falling off that early pick on Quartz,

01:00:20.260 --> 01:00:22.740
he didn't even have a chance to return to the fights.

01:00:22.740 --> 01:00:25.340
And the scary thing when you're kind of watching a lot of these fights

01:00:25.340 --> 01:00:27.020
and something that's just going to keep an eye on,

01:00:27.020 --> 01:00:29.340
like we talk about this kind of tank head-to-head,

01:00:29.340 --> 01:00:33.880
Ice Knob is like close to like 80-90% HP, pretty much throughout these fights.

01:00:33.880 --> 01:00:38.340
Really not taking any significant threat damage there on the Domino.

01:00:39.780 --> 01:00:43.320
Despite Reinhardt experiencing reduced ground control effects,

01:00:43.320 --> 01:00:47.400
Matt, you can still stun him if he's close enough to the wall for that Sonic Repulsor.

01:00:48.360 --> 01:00:50.840
His Ice Knob pent up to the ready to be a symmetrical all-in-play.

01:00:50.840 --> 01:00:54.080
This is gonna reduce Ice Knob's effectiveness pretty drastically,

01:00:54.080 --> 01:00:56.000
and TVNZ is trying to use his window to close the gap.

01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:58.200
It does happen, but it's trying to block Ice Knob!

01:00:58.200 --> 01:01:04.540
Not ideal at all. Vixxer hoping to live up to his name perhaps in this fight, but it's too little and too late here.

01:01:05.040 --> 01:01:05.940
For verse pro.

01:01:06.340 --> 01:01:10.720
And they had the advantage of having the Kutsune rush and potentially a better beat.

01:01:10.720 --> 01:01:13.280
The beat is just too late there from Vixxer.

01:01:13.680 --> 01:01:14.500
Oh, what is this?

01:01:14.500 --> 01:01:17.480
Second and two from behind. Now they're just gonna go off, you know, train poke.

01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:19.880
Maybe see if they can get somebody out of the spawn.

01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:24.340
Also getting up there and taking some of the damage loss, simply get closer towards the rush as well, so...

01:01:24.340 --> 01:01:29.340
Don't mind that you have an easy escape with the Sin TP.

01:01:29.340 --> 01:01:33.340
Okay, TNT has the density shield if all is possible.

01:01:33.340 --> 01:01:35.340
A TP to get himself back.

01:01:35.340 --> 01:01:36.340
Giving really.

01:01:36.340 --> 01:01:38.340
Setting TP and TNT up to it.

01:01:38.340 --> 01:01:41.340
Just sort of pick some of the issues to try and have mobility innately.

01:01:41.340 --> 01:01:43.340
Yeah, they want to farm this rush, right?

01:01:43.340 --> 01:01:45.340
They're okay now giving the point back to TP.

01:01:45.340 --> 01:01:48.340
They want to farm the rush and you also have Shadow of Dental here.

01:01:48.340 --> 01:01:49.340
TNT has no shield.

01:01:49.340 --> 01:01:52.340
He really needs to walk up and try and find exactly a big earth shadow.

01:01:52.340 --> 01:01:58.340
It's been a rush here from Simple, Pan-Ups from Waspe, used to buy Ice-Snow, but it's going to be Quartz, he's the first casualty in this fight!

01:01:58.340 --> 01:02:01.340
What an ice-shatter from Ice-Snow! That is ridiculous!

01:02:01.340 --> 01:02:07.340
TBNT flattens his opposing tank, and Ice-Snow was found without a barrier!

01:02:07.340 --> 01:02:17.340
Aw, you know, that's the downside, right? The barrier is static as soon as you get on past it, even though TBNT's shield is being worked down that entire time.

01:02:17.340 --> 01:02:22.180
Doesn't matter, huge shatter connects with three, both supports caught up in the tank as well.

01:02:22.180 --> 01:02:28.740
The fire strikes just leaving everybody as TM opportunity to close it out here.

01:02:28.740 --> 01:02:30.540
Beat versus Rush.

01:02:31.140 --> 01:02:32.540
That's the really way you're looking at.

01:02:33.140 --> 01:02:36.640
GDNT squeezing every point of value out of that variant.

01:02:36.640 --> 01:02:39.140
Using it to get exactly where he's most effective.

01:02:39.140 --> 01:02:42.640
GDNT rushing to a good spot on the point and that catcher is trying to charge forward.

01:02:42.640 --> 01:02:44.640
GDNT cheek-witchedly trying to back over.

01:02:44.640 --> 01:02:46.740
There's not enough time. It's a late beat this time.

01:02:46.740 --> 01:02:50.660
With twisted minds, they're gonna try to fight with 4 and so far Quartz has even the ledger.

01:02:50.660 --> 01:02:54.260
Kepster's down, the lying chair of the damage if a Virtus Pro has gone missing.

01:02:54.260 --> 01:02:57.380
Ice Nub wants the surge forward here but he's gonna keep an eye on his HP.

01:02:57.380 --> 01:03:01.540
Fix that, this time it's a beat on time. Ice Nub makes effective use of it,

01:03:01.540 --> 01:03:04.900
staying alive and eventually Quartz is brought down.

01:03:04.900 --> 01:03:08.980
But Ice Nub is gonna be the trade for it. Kutuna rush coming down from Simple and here is TVFT

01:03:08.980 --> 01:03:14.420
of the Doomfist of all things. A TP out for Virtus Pro, but they've gotta try and contest this

01:03:14.420 --> 01:03:16.420
And they're off to points!

01:03:21.420 --> 01:03:26.620
TDNT comes back on the Doom. They have the rush there available over the point.

01:03:28.940 --> 01:03:33.640
And then Quartz doing a great job on the Bastions there early on, but

01:03:34.380 --> 01:03:42.500
this playstyle, Mitch, it's really comfy. Quartz twisted mind, right? We've seen him play the Reinhardt a lot.

01:03:42.500 --> 01:03:47.660
the wini and the airy team and dude already at this event hot start there for ice

01:03:47.660 --> 01:03:53.380
and go on the dominoes six shatter both supports yeah

01:03:53.380 --> 01:03:58.220
she doesn't get much better than that if you had told me a month or two ago that

01:03:58.220 --> 01:04:02.900
I'd be watching domino versus Reinhardt on crime yeah it told me a month or two ago

01:04:02.900 --> 01:04:05.860
you were here I would have been surprised but hey you know twisted mind this is

01:04:05.860 --> 01:04:11.140
about money talks as they push off here now they're gonna be playing sick right

01:04:11.140 --> 01:04:15.260
So, VP I think has a slight advantage in this comp, right?

01:04:15.260 --> 01:04:24.260
Playing that Rematra into the SIG, and with that, Sojourn as well is going to some poke down the tier as GM wants to take control of the bridge.

01:04:24.260 --> 01:04:29.780
That's a pretty safe angle to play for him, but his sidelines are rather limited here.

01:04:29.780 --> 01:04:33.620
Still an opportunity to say, oh, okay, TP in front of him, Jimmy's going to get brought down.

01:04:33.620 --> 01:04:36.260
A little bit dangerous for Sivirnik's front lines, especially against Rematra.

01:04:36.260 --> 01:04:38.260
Even though Sigma is not able to protect him,

01:04:38.260 --> 01:04:42.260
the pivoting and composition of that is probably looking to be more comfortable now for them.

01:04:42.260 --> 01:04:47.260
Quartz is still at large, but all of his architecture has been plucked out from under him.

01:04:47.260 --> 01:04:52.260
The Ram matchup into Sigma, like it's not, you know, like they, you wouldn't say it's like a hard counter,

01:04:52.260 --> 01:04:56.260
like you need to swap right away. It is a really great matchup though, right?

01:04:56.260 --> 01:05:00.260
I mean, I don't like it, but they move over.

01:05:00.260 --> 01:05:05.020
Like, Rematra Puck's Nemesis Form, you know, that's actually a vortex that can encounter

01:05:05.020 --> 01:05:06.780
a UV there and then a rail-down shot.

01:05:06.780 --> 01:05:09.980
The, you know, Nemesis Form, obviously, all those punches from the Rematra,

01:05:09.980 --> 01:05:12.620
going past the shield of the Sigma through the kinetic grasp,

01:05:12.620 --> 01:05:14.620
it makes it almost impossible to live.

01:05:14.620 --> 01:05:19.100
Yeah, it's honestly, it's just the speed burst, that little impulse that gets you past the Sigma.

01:05:19.100 --> 01:05:22.660
Yeah, creation is annoying, but you're so durable in that Nemesis Form that, yeah,

01:05:22.660 --> 01:05:25.980
rarely can that stun be converted into an elimination.

01:05:25.980 --> 01:05:29.140
And SIG also has no mobility to really dodge like annihilation, right?

01:05:29.140 --> 01:05:33.540
Yeah, you need the Perk where you can sort of try and knock back the Rematra with the melee hits.

01:05:34.340 --> 01:05:35.540
Aislam has an annihilation.

01:05:36.340 --> 01:05:38.940
Still waiting on the prime opportunity to use the Vitex, but this is dangerous.

01:05:38.940 --> 01:05:42.740
This is a very risky off angle, but there's the annihilation. It takes some eyes off him.

01:05:42.940 --> 01:05:44.240
And it works perfectly.

01:05:44.740 --> 01:05:49.040
BBNT's falls back. He's just switched to the Rematra, so needs to build that ultimate up.

01:05:49.140 --> 01:05:51.740
Aislam does relatively well to hold this space.

01:05:51.940 --> 01:05:55.340
And get better support at 60%, but Twisted Minds have a chance to break in.

01:05:55.340 --> 01:05:58.540
And they're going to be behind this in the funny after it can return in time.

01:05:58.540 --> 01:06:01.380
This is bullsh**t, like a horrid on this guy!

01:06:01.380 --> 01:06:03.500
You'd be picked off, but it was a point flip!

01:06:03.500 --> 01:06:05.100
Kemps still needs to fight for it!

01:06:05.100 --> 01:06:07.420
And his teammates will filter back in to try and capture.

01:06:07.420 --> 01:06:09.620
Yeah, Fixer getting down there, just kind of contest the point.

01:06:09.620 --> 01:06:11.420
You're gonna get the Romantra back here as well.

01:06:11.420 --> 01:06:13.860
It's Fixer getting closer to a beat.

01:06:13.860 --> 01:06:15.020
Gonna have this matchup.

01:06:15.020 --> 01:06:16.580
Funny Astros, just...

01:06:16.580 --> 01:06:18.860
TM did end up looking at the point during all this.

01:06:20.700 --> 01:06:22.620
Yeah, that is probably even behind it.

01:06:22.620 --> 01:06:24.100
Kemps is ultimate there.

01:06:24.700 --> 01:06:27.100
He's gonna be able to turn that into a flip back.

01:06:27.100 --> 01:06:29.580
Otherwise, they'd be in a much more threatening position.

01:06:29.980 --> 01:06:33.500
Still, the story is matching beats here for these two teams,

01:06:33.500 --> 01:06:34.780
and you just gotta be careful.

01:06:34.780 --> 01:06:36.300
We've picked off Mercy quite a few of these fights.

01:06:36.300 --> 01:06:37.340
We've got two steam walls in play.

01:06:37.340 --> 01:06:38.540
This is quite confusing.

01:06:38.540 --> 01:06:39.740
It's like a house of mirrors out there.

01:06:39.740 --> 01:06:41.740
No team wants to be the first to beat them, right?

01:06:41.740 --> 01:06:44.140
Both Lucio's trying to hold onto this to get the advantage

01:06:44.140 --> 01:06:45.180
in terms of the sound barrier.

01:06:45.180 --> 01:06:46.540
Yeah, the walls break it up too much as well.

01:06:46.540 --> 01:06:47.660
You just don't want to take any risks,

01:06:47.660 --> 01:06:48.300
but at this risk,

01:06:48.300 --> 01:06:49.740
the device will get the cat to the center

01:06:49.740 --> 01:06:51.100
as a result of this reluctance.

01:06:51.660 --> 01:06:52.860
GVM team wants to try it.

01:06:53.660 --> 01:06:54.220
Nobody's here.

01:06:54.220 --> 01:06:54.860
Keep this pointed.

01:06:54.860 --> 01:07:01.620
It keeps the thought he was back capped there is constantly playing this off angle and credit to him that because it's dangerous to do that

01:07:01.620 --> 01:07:03.620
He's staying alive in most of these scenarios

01:07:03.620 --> 01:07:05.620
Still the beat being held onto

01:07:05.620 --> 01:07:10.100
Big Zay, flinks first, but he's already lost land of the timing for these beats has been tough to line up

01:07:10.260 --> 01:07:11.940
And this map so far

01:07:11.940 --> 01:07:17.540
D&T's annihilation though is now in play and all the ice knob subjected to a very little assistance

01:07:17.540 --> 01:07:22.020
I mean losing land in though is absolutely brutal there for VP

01:07:22.020 --> 01:07:24.700
You know, he would have ended up having the rush.

01:07:24.700 --> 01:07:29.500
It also allows simple to hold on to his rush, his twisted minds, his battle back in this

01:07:29.500 --> 01:07:35.620
second round, marching themselves towards a map one win.

01:07:35.620 --> 01:07:37.020
Rushes for both sides and then Quartzman.

01:07:37.020 --> 01:07:40.700
You're going to be able to use this OC pretty safely at range to close it out.

01:07:40.700 --> 01:07:43.980
It's the annihilation from Einstein that is going to be what fails for us to throw out

01:07:43.980 --> 01:07:44.980
here.

01:07:44.980 --> 01:07:50.500
This guy has been sublime this year, definitely the peak of his career and now a lot of responsibility

01:07:50.500 --> 01:07:55.500
He falls on his shoulders, get the approach of one, and WHILE THE CAUTIONS SHUT THE FIXER!

01:07:55.500 --> 01:07:59.500
Just a little out of the periphery, found by an overclocking there, and Psycho next to a fall.

01:07:59.500 --> 01:08:01.500
That's about as good as it gets from CAUTIONS.

01:08:01.500 --> 01:08:05.500
Now sure, there's a flip amongst this, because Ice Nob's annihilation demands respect,

01:08:05.500 --> 01:08:08.500
but Twisted Minds have the numbers of CAUTIONS, has the brace of KILLS!

01:08:08.500 --> 01:08:09.500
Had trick now!

01:08:09.500 --> 01:08:13.500
Redaptivine DPS, one of the best in the world to do it!

01:08:13.500 --> 01:08:15.500
And Kepter is under extreme pressure.

01:08:15.500 --> 01:08:17.500
Holding this off fangle there, he can barely peek out.

01:08:17.500 --> 01:08:20.300
There's no healing force in either of the prospect of a touch.

01:08:20.300 --> 01:08:22.500
Frankly, it's unrealistic.

01:08:22.500 --> 01:08:25.100
Watch out for twisted minds that land.

01:08:25.100 --> 01:08:27.100
These guys are a different beast.

01:08:31.100 --> 01:08:35.100
With the way that quartz uses overclock on the searcher,

01:08:35.100 --> 01:08:37.100
it's like it's got tag-clash, man.

01:08:37.100 --> 01:08:38.100
I mean, it's crazy.

01:08:38.100 --> 01:08:41.700
It's every time it's like, what, two kills minimum?

01:08:41.700 --> 01:08:44.700
I mean, right here just takes out Fixa.

01:08:44.700 --> 01:08:51.700
The next one just gonna delete Psycho coming around the corner and he has a headshot there at range.

01:08:51.700 --> 01:08:57.700
Just an absolute MVP for 4 minutes from Quartz there early on.

01:08:57.700 --> 01:09:01.700
And that is what Hedgeson was trying to do for the entire round.

01:09:01.700 --> 01:09:05.700
Playing a very obvious off angle, getting Kira for healing when needed.

01:09:05.700 --> 01:09:08.700
But Quartz really showed him up there.

01:09:08.700 --> 01:09:12.180
Look if you tell twisted minds if you're to tell them at the beginning of

01:09:12.900 --> 01:09:17.540
This series hey, you're gonna have a mere matchup and you're gonna get a quartz

01:09:17.580 --> 01:09:23.120
You know soldier head-to-head and just like you know that's we're gonna have to play through to win the game

01:09:23.120 --> 01:09:28.360
They would take that in every series against anybody in the field. I mean that's that's like there

01:09:28.360 --> 01:09:33.960
That's like their specialty right and head down to the stage with Ian and someone who showed us fantastic hospitality in Riyadh at last year

01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:35.960
It's fancy

01:09:35.960 --> 01:09:37.960
I'm here with the twisted minds fans

01:09:38.700 --> 01:09:45.700
And the big dog of TM himself, Fancy, you guys have got to be feeling good right now.

01:09:45.700 --> 01:09:49.900
I mean, we already said it, VP versus Twisted Minds, yes we didn't do well against them

01:09:49.900 --> 01:09:54.900
in the EMA stage 2, but it's time to take revenge and we're going to win this game

01:09:54.900 --> 01:09:55.900
and it's going to be a 2-0.

01:09:55.900 --> 01:09:56.900
Everyone knows that.

01:09:56.900 --> 01:09:59.140
I'm a big fan of your fans, right?

01:09:59.140 --> 01:10:03.100
You've travelled a long way to be here, all the way from Saudi Arabia.

01:10:03.100 --> 01:10:07.180
How passionate are these fans and your fans about getting back to championship winning

01:10:07.180 --> 01:10:08.180
ways here?

01:10:08.180 --> 01:10:12.980
I'm just so happy that everyone is here today, honestly, without them, we wouldn't be here

01:10:12.980 --> 01:10:18.580
winning against VP, the champions of EMEA for Stage 2, and I think we proved ourselves

01:10:18.580 --> 01:10:23.580
in November when we won Stockholm, when we became the world champions, but I think it's

01:10:23.580 --> 01:10:25.780
time to win EWAC as well, and this is it.

01:10:25.780 --> 01:10:29.340
You're gonna hear it first, I've got to ask as well, you don't want to drop into that

01:10:29.340 --> 01:10:33.060
lower bracket, it's so important not to go down into what I like to call the crocodile

01:10:33.060 --> 01:10:35.220
swamp because it gets snappy down there.

01:10:35.220 --> 01:10:40.880
If you do get the win here and progress, your chances must feel really strong going forward

01:10:40.880 --> 01:10:41.880
into the next phase.

01:10:41.880 --> 01:10:45.880
I mean winning this match or this map, you only will map away from spotting some points

01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:49.240
with the club championship and it's all about the club championship because they score 12

01:10:49.240 --> 01:10:50.240
cups.

01:10:50.240 --> 01:10:53.480
So one game, we're going to win this one, we're going to win the next one and we're

01:10:53.480 --> 01:10:56.720
going to stop crazy raccoons and we're going to take it from Falcons and we're going to

01:10:56.720 --> 01:10:57.720
watch it right here.

01:10:57.720 --> 01:11:00.880
Well look, I'm tricked out and twisted mind stuff right now so I'm going to chill with

01:11:00.880 --> 01:11:01.880
the fans here.

01:11:01.880 --> 01:11:03.840
I think I'm a converted TM guy.

01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:06.600
I'm gonna watch them back to you guys for the game.

01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:07.440
Let's go!

01:11:12.880 --> 01:11:14.280
Last year in Stockholm,

01:11:14.280 --> 01:11:15.560
but OWC as well finals,

01:11:15.560 --> 01:11:18.840
Twisted Minds, World Championship was a revelation.

01:11:18.840 --> 01:11:19.680
Yeah.

01:11:19.680 --> 01:11:22.080
Here in Paris, especially here in the fans,

01:11:22.080 --> 01:11:24.280
it feels like an expectation.

01:11:24.280 --> 01:11:25.600
I mean, it's really impressive, really.

01:11:25.600 --> 01:11:27.480
What fancy and the rest of the TM

01:11:27.480 --> 01:11:29.720
kind of organization squad have done, right?

01:11:29.720 --> 01:11:34.400
This is like a really an overwatch started out as like a tier two organization, right?

01:11:34.400 --> 01:11:39.600
Playing in computers, yeah, like grassroots, and then I know obviously with opening up with OWCS,

01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:44.240
they have developed, I know, into an absolute juggernaut in overwatch.

01:11:44.240 --> 01:11:49.920
And it's been a sight to see some of the more exciting games we've had the opportunity to be a part of.

01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:55.920
We've always kind of included twists and minds and kind of their interesting style of play as now.

01:11:55.920 --> 01:11:59.820
I'm curious where VP wants to take me.

01:11:59.820 --> 01:12:06.360
I think that VP made the correct choice, starting with their mantra on.

01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:27.980
you

01:12:55.920 --> 01:12:57.980
you

01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:27.980
you

01:13:55.920 --> 01:13:57.980
you

01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:27.980
you

01:14:55.920 --> 01:15:10.200
Here for the domino who can offer you that consistent long range damage and can perk into

01:15:10.200 --> 01:15:13.880
a really empowering per blaster to work over longer distances.

01:15:13.880 --> 01:15:16.000
Yeah we'll see you FAST.

01:15:16.000 --> 01:15:19.400
TM you see there where they TP up that high ground they have bryan heart shield there's

01:15:19.400 --> 01:15:22.320
like almost nothing you can do here in these things.

01:15:22.320 --> 01:15:27.200
This is like, they were so good in the MEA, when this like, kind of strat has been available,

01:15:27.200 --> 01:15:30.240
but then we seem to have banned the Reinhardt against them in the MEA when we go to the

01:15:30.240 --> 01:15:31.240
armjunction.

01:15:31.240 --> 01:15:35.400
And this is obviously something that, you know, VP not surprised, like, playing in the

01:15:35.400 --> 01:15:36.400
region.

01:15:36.400 --> 01:15:39.680
They know it would potentially be a strat here, if I'm DM.

01:15:39.680 --> 01:15:42.760
This feels awkward because very surprised Cops, especially their tank plan, are not designed

01:15:42.760 --> 01:15:47.400
to close the gap of the role, but they need to, because they devise a setting up on these

01:15:47.400 --> 01:15:51.840
So the high ground fire teach points and being a real issue simply playing it off. I'm good

01:15:52.920 --> 01:15:54.920
Just for a time

01:15:55.000 --> 01:15:57.260
Here's a Tp now front instead of the twisted lines

01:15:57.760 --> 01:15:59.760
There's an opportunity to push into the

01:16:00.120 --> 01:16:05.780
Okay, that Tp short range cycle they get from the high ground, but he's escape method nobody available

01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:12.320
I mean the dominant knock is good, right just getting them out of your face

01:16:12.320 --> 01:16:17.880
But still, I mean, just the space creation from the Rime, you see TV and D just swinging away.

01:16:17.880 --> 01:16:20.920
I still don't want to kind of move on in and they're trying to stagger out.

01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:23.820
I mean, I don't know what he's supposed to make happen to me.

01:16:23.820 --> 01:16:27.120
I still obviously must get damage with a mitigated heavily by shields.

01:16:27.120 --> 01:16:29.620
Twisted mines are propelled by the burners, but God, they're still...

01:16:29.620 --> 01:16:35.120
And the thing is, right, so like, uh, Kevser uses, uh, you know, you know, Turret Mode there on the Bastion.

01:16:35.120 --> 01:16:39.320
They TP up to the high ground, where he doesn't really have an angle and the Rime Shield is in the mix,

01:16:39.320 --> 01:16:44.320
And then they're able to kind of the TP right back to the low ground there is to twisted mind and in fight

01:16:44.320 --> 01:16:47.160
I mean, it's a really brutal come to play into I'm surprised that

01:16:49.640 --> 01:16:51.040
Doesn't expect this more

01:16:51.040 --> 01:16:55.000
I mean, this is something twisted mind, but you watch me and me and stage 2 they do all the time

01:16:55.000 --> 01:16:58.880
Yeah, it's in the VP wanna pick this map and play it of his style, but so fun. I'm so bad

01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:05.600
You can leap out of TMS, but get up in the high ground that was enough to unravel the defenders

01:17:05.600 --> 01:17:08.600
But a lot of time was played on this guy's point defense.

01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:11.600
Yeah, and it's a rush they're used by VP, so...

01:17:11.600 --> 01:17:13.600
For Twisted Minds.

01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:15.600
It'll be a little bit harder though for them to kind of like...

01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:18.600
You know, you're not going to have that natural high ground, you're not going to play over by the train.

01:17:18.600 --> 01:17:21.600
You see where they kind of TP up to now?

01:17:21.600 --> 01:17:24.600
VP trying to take that spot away here at the moment.

01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:29.600
They don't want to naturally like kind of TP in here and just like play from that high ground here again.

01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:34.600
I was always going to be shepherding the cart forward while the rest of the bros abuse this high ground.

01:17:34.600 --> 01:17:40.280
Dems are up here just flogging away. This is free real estate for verse pros.

01:17:40.280 --> 01:17:43.600
Prist and mines are gonna likely cut up into this underclass before they take a flight

01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:44.600
into the next one.

01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:45.600
Why not wants to beat up on the core?

01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:48.600
See they're playing ice like far alone with everybody else in the back.

01:17:48.600 --> 01:17:51.600
They wonder if they believe that TVNT has a shatter. They're just trying to beat them,

01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:52.600
isn't it?

01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:56.600
Or let's say TVNT gets a press of honor, they just TP him out and then that's when the

01:17:56.600 --> 01:18:00.600
Domino can start kind of taking control with some of the post.

01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:04.280
some of the foes. And we are over two minutes into the game so tracking a chat from the

01:18:04.280 --> 01:18:08.400
grind is unsurprising. Oh wow! Okay Swackle didn't pick up, he was huge! The other sprints

01:18:08.400 --> 01:18:17.480
have to, the old fashioned way, turn tail and get this ground up. Or stall. This next

01:18:17.480 --> 01:18:24.800
site's going to be crazy man. Everything available on both sides. These support ults, obviously

01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:30.800
so important. He saw some late feats in map number one, which you see is the TV, but

01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.120
can't quite clear it. It looks like a lot have been advised those twisted minds have

01:18:33.120 --> 01:18:37.200
found a low ground shot. It comes in, catches out, psycho! Surely that's enough!

01:18:37.200 --> 01:18:39.680
The TVNT snatches up his hat trick!

01:18:47.680 --> 01:18:49.520
Huge shatter there from TVNT.

01:18:49.520 --> 01:18:53.900
The DM, look at how impressively they are, it's going to give you this artillery, like

01:18:53.900 --> 01:18:57.860
this right in front of VP, they just TP out, they certainly think that.

01:18:57.860 --> 01:19:02.240
You get to get a charge into position now, Virtus.pro have to flip the map essentially,

01:19:02.240 --> 01:19:05.660
this card is getting away from Twisted Minds, this is going to force their head, sooner rather

01:19:05.660 --> 01:19:09.220
than later I imagine, you can stand up briefly, might have been a no skip, like I slumped Sam

01:19:09.220 --> 01:19:13.820
buried down for Virtus.pro, it's funny Astro already used his, TVNT is down, Virtus.pro's

01:19:13.820 --> 01:19:18.540
map flipped, Gambit seems to have played off so far, no tank, Twisted Minds now kind

01:19:18.540 --> 01:19:19.660
I'm trying to, what are you talking about?

01:19:19.660 --> 01:19:22.160
Hopefully just stall with their bodies, but that's all I can manage.

01:19:23.780 --> 01:19:25.980
Yes, you're just gonna die some stuff.

01:19:25.980 --> 01:19:27.020
Crazy there.

01:19:29.140 --> 01:19:36.140
With a 4k, it looks like, as I think, you know, you actually did connect with a few players with that common halt.

01:19:36.140 --> 01:19:39.700
I think there's a Zuzu that comes in the mix, and you take a look from his POV.

01:19:42.500 --> 01:19:43.140
Bam, bro.

01:19:43.140 --> 01:19:45.900
Yeah, you know, the knock is so strong.

01:19:45.900 --> 01:19:48.220
I mean, if you connect into a wall, right, there's like a brief stun.

01:19:48.540 --> 01:19:51.340
And eventually they kind of slipped sides again here.

01:19:51.340 --> 01:19:53.340
It's not ideal for Christian Mayer.

01:19:53.340 --> 01:19:57.540
No, I'm going to force him to take the fight and he'll also force Eris.

01:19:57.540 --> 01:20:00.540
I see an ultimate shield coming out from Kepster.

01:20:00.540 --> 01:20:03.840
Quartz has these available now too, but he's in a bit of an awkward spot to be making use of it.

01:20:03.840 --> 01:20:06.340
Still going to throw it down and try and get Heisman lowered up to force him away.

01:20:06.340 --> 01:20:07.840
It seems to have worked!

01:20:07.840 --> 01:20:09.340
Heisman succumbs!

01:20:09.340 --> 01:20:11.840
Simple, he's just going to make sure Quartz is nice and top-dupped,

01:20:11.840 --> 01:20:13.840
because his work is far from done.

01:20:13.840 --> 01:20:17.840
This time around, it's a very different outcome as Virtus Pro flipped the map.

01:20:18.540 --> 01:20:24.700
And uh, it's definitely trying not to get staggered there, but it's gonna end up happening.

01:20:24.700 --> 01:20:27.740
So that is the rush though, that Tm has to use.

01:20:27.740 --> 01:20:30.140
They need probably one more fight.

01:20:30.140 --> 01:20:32.780
Shatter plus their sim wall pretty good.

01:20:32.780 --> 01:20:36.180
Even with double support ult on the other side, might be good enough to do it.

01:20:36.180 --> 01:20:37.180
Yeah.

01:20:37.180 --> 01:20:40.220
TbNT has to navigate psycho sim wall though, if he wants a powerful shatter, unless he's

01:20:40.220 --> 01:20:41.220
gonna just rip it out.

01:20:41.220 --> 01:20:42.780
Or you just wait it out, right?

01:20:42.780 --> 01:20:45.820
He has to correct it, try to see.

01:20:45.820 --> 01:20:46.820
That would have been bad.

01:20:46.820 --> 01:20:51.820
Not really a safe spot to stand up there, very few of them anyway, they're giving a scifi inside after them.

01:20:51.820 --> 01:20:53.820
It's made a feats.

01:20:53.820 --> 01:20:57.820
GDNT shall the SH- OH IT'S A FEET SHALLEN, YOU'RE CANNING ME!

01:20:57.820 --> 01:21:01.820
Samurai came through though, Fitsa was not knocked to the ground, but it's not an upkeep cycle alive.

01:21:01.820 --> 01:21:06.820
Massive from twisted minds on this defense now, it's bonus pro sand timer, it's getting a little slim.

01:21:06.820 --> 01:21:10.820
24 seconds left and Kevser is in absolute no robot slam.

01:21:10.820 --> 01:21:16.820
Nice number, he's nowhere to go, he knows he's gonna get buffeted around by the hammer and won't be allowed to escape.

01:21:16.820 --> 01:21:24.820
Yeah, you know, it looks like it's gonna be Landon who does make it out with his life, but still, you're not gonna have ice back, at least on the Domina here.

01:21:24.820 --> 01:21:27.820
Inject the Rhine seam copy into my veins, man. It is insane.

01:21:27.820 --> 01:21:34.820
It's a lot, you know, trying to get a touch here, take some damage, not gonna be able to get onto the payload.

01:21:34.820 --> 01:21:36.820
And that is where it ends

01:21:38.340 --> 01:21:42.080
So dude, this is one of the better maps for TM playing this comp

01:21:42.740 --> 01:21:43.820
It's a product

01:21:43.820 --> 01:21:48.340
I mean look BP probably feels like they knew what they were gonna do when they feel confident enough to beat it with that strat

01:21:48.340 --> 01:21:50.340
But I'll be curious when we talk to like a

01:21:50.740 --> 01:21:53.620
At the desk what their read is on it, especially Jake

01:21:53.620 --> 01:21:57.980
I mean we fasted this exact map with these we twisted my bunch of times and like I

01:21:58.180 --> 01:22:02.220
Did you take in the back knew exactly what was going to happen and probably a little bit shot

01:22:02.220 --> 01:22:10.220
They're not trying to be funny, but now, if you know, then why don't VP, or why are their expectations so different from them, so, you know?

01:22:10.220 --> 01:22:15.220
Ah, no, I mean, they didn't feel like, and look, we don't know what they could have overcame in streams, things like that.

01:22:15.220 --> 01:22:18.220
They did Domino comp, and they're really gonna overwell me.

01:22:18.220 --> 01:22:21.220
Okay, let's blow up Combin' Attack for a passion cut to Moga.

01:22:21.220 --> 01:22:24.220
Yeah, so, I mean, look, hey, I mean, that's a great call from Ubi, right?

01:22:24.220 --> 01:22:29.220
They're gonna play Domino, just play the Moga, right? You can play, like, Cap-bashing with the Moga, and just gonna run.

01:22:29.220 --> 01:22:34.340
run because the thing with Domina is the shield is static right you can't you can't move I mean

01:22:34.340 --> 01:22:38.060
there's the major I'm moving around but it's that now get is unstoppable during

01:22:38.060 --> 01:22:42.820
shoulder charge. Domina does not do anything she does not interact with it she simply gets run into

01:22:42.820 --> 01:22:50.980
yeah and a pretty static target at that so we'll see that's gonna be Ramatra here on defense for

01:22:50.980 --> 01:22:58.340
VP so a much different look it'll also be the Freya you'll see why UV is so important to this team

01:22:58.340 --> 01:23:01.340
Yeah, moments like that. He already has the plan.

01:23:01.340 --> 01:23:03.340
Yeah, this is a... I think this is a...

01:23:03.340 --> 01:23:08.340
So, look, the MAGA isn't as powerful into the Rematras, let's say.

01:23:08.340 --> 01:23:11.340
You know, it was coming on the other side, but...

01:23:11.340 --> 01:23:14.340
Double flyer here. This is unplayable for Kepster.

01:23:14.340 --> 01:23:16.340
That's fucked up!

01:23:16.340 --> 01:23:18.340
To say the least.

01:23:18.340 --> 01:23:24.340
It's a little challenging to interact with the EJB on the threats, and you can see Kepster is just pretty taken-top for us.

01:23:24.340 --> 01:23:33.340
Astro is gonna be able to kind of help both of these UD endcourts stay in the sky forever.

01:23:33.340 --> 01:23:40.340
Yeah, the Pharah poke is so nasty to play through, but also you take a decent amount of damage from the Pharah you're dealing with the Bastion.

01:23:40.340 --> 01:23:42.340
You can't use this position at all.

01:23:42.340 --> 01:23:44.340
Yeah, it's just denied, right?

01:23:44.340 --> 01:23:49.340
Well, by the Pharah as well, right, the Conk at the high ground, like it's just completely denied.

01:23:49.340 --> 01:23:51.340
Is this fight just over?

01:23:51.340 --> 01:23:53.340
No, the think of course is pretty important.

01:23:53.340 --> 01:23:55.780
If I close down as an egg or blue for ability, it's limited.

01:23:56.500 --> 01:23:58.900
Kepston's gonna have to get in here and really get his hands dirty.

01:24:01.900 --> 01:24:02.820
One tick and counting.

01:24:02.820 --> 01:24:05.940
The faults are not that easy though to connect with some of these players.

01:24:05.940 --> 01:24:08.380
Yes, you know, maybe playing a cast of the era of Soldier.

01:24:08.580 --> 01:24:09.900
Ice Nom's health fire is important.

01:24:09.900 --> 01:24:12.900
He's trying to contest, he's actually doing well, but duty can find an off angle.

01:24:12.900 --> 01:24:14.340
Oh, nicely done by Kepston.

01:24:14.340 --> 01:24:15.820
Sleuth set out pretty quickly.

01:24:16.380 --> 01:24:17.020
Full shot.

01:24:17.540 --> 01:24:18.900
He's throwing into the mix.

01:24:18.900 --> 01:24:23.400
A new result off the back of the car when CTM is still fighting for that high ground.

01:24:23.400 --> 01:24:25.900
This is a lot of heal pressure to put on Gertus Krombeck.

01:24:25.900 --> 01:24:27.900
So far they're keeping Isnob in the fight.

01:24:27.900 --> 01:24:28.900
It's getting a little dicey from though.

01:24:28.900 --> 01:24:30.400
He has to give up that second tick now.

01:24:30.400 --> 01:24:31.900
VP has to commit this is it.

01:24:31.900 --> 01:24:33.400
Get to their rush, fucking it from Landon.

01:24:33.400 --> 01:24:34.900
The Isnob's going to get the healing that he needs.

01:24:34.900 --> 01:24:36.400
CTM's getting under extreme pressure.

01:24:36.400 --> 01:24:37.900
Nubius and Krombeck down.

01:24:37.900 --> 01:24:39.400
Nice vortex going into the backlight.

01:24:39.400 --> 01:24:40.400
We didn't miss that one.

01:24:40.400 --> 01:24:42.400
And Sycho up on the card.

01:24:42.400 --> 01:24:43.900
Just trying to make a selection of targets.

01:24:43.900 --> 01:24:47.900
What's caught in the distance that Isnob loops and bounds in the direction of the Bastion.

01:24:47.900 --> 01:24:51.420
I assume just under a spot of pressure, but

01:24:52.220 --> 01:24:55.820
VP able to keep him alive. TNT hold on here.

01:24:55.820 --> 01:24:56.540
Wait, what?

01:24:56.540 --> 01:24:59.900
No, I don't need a TVNT! What is that?

01:25:00.700 --> 01:25:05.900
But it's probably given him a series of 1v1s and he is grinning from ear to ear like an anime villain.

01:25:07.020 --> 01:25:08.700
Is there a hero?

01:25:08.700 --> 01:25:12.060
You onto 1v1 less than Mogel? Let's take a look at this.

01:25:12.060 --> 01:25:18.640
Stomp gets landed, obviously doesn't have a suju, now there's a 40hp, and then the body at go under kicks in.

01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:19.140
Man!

01:25:19.860 --> 01:25:22.060
It's back up to 500 pretty much.

01:25:22.060 --> 01:25:23.400
I think he's got to make a health pack.

01:25:23.400 --> 01:25:23.900
Yeah.

01:25:24.920 --> 01:25:26.680
Jesus, that is very pituitous timing.

01:25:27.240 --> 01:25:31.140
But I still doesn't feel like you can turn a fight even if he's contrasting the points.

01:25:31.140 --> 01:25:33.580
Aw, that's a rough way to lose that.

01:25:33.580 --> 01:25:36.140
I mean, DP looked like that was going to be for sure a fight win.

01:25:37.660 --> 01:25:38.860
That's going to be the twice he...

01:25:38.860 --> 01:25:50.860
Pristin mines now, he's gonna catnap at the ready, Barrage is gonna be there as well for you, the first of a kates fight, he's gonna catrash, he's gonna get nowhere, getting out of this right now, it's way out into the town square, has his IDs exposed!

01:25:50.860 --> 01:25:58.860
You better know he's gonna be picked up by Ketster, another good vortex, Kort's gonna be pulled out but he's hit direct by a bollister and Ketster might have saved the fight here for Virtus Pro!

01:25:58.860 --> 01:26:11.720
I think this is a good idea here, ditching the cat as well, the kind of ground bastion

01:26:11.720 --> 01:26:15.960
setup that Twisted Minds has played is yeah, you don't play, but let's get that Rimeback

01:26:15.960 --> 01:26:16.960
out, right?

01:26:16.960 --> 01:26:17.960
I mean, why not?

01:26:17.960 --> 01:26:22.480
That's a bit of a joke.

01:26:22.480 --> 01:26:27.600
I just don't have moments where he can contain the TVM team.

01:26:27.600 --> 01:26:29.600
What's the response here?

01:26:29.600 --> 01:26:33.280
I guess let's pull this evade with this Bastion of the Old Belos like old.

01:26:33.280 --> 01:26:34.280
Good Suzu there.

01:26:34.280 --> 01:26:35.280
Well done, the nice guy.

01:26:35.280 --> 01:26:37.480
Knocked out the life along enough.

01:26:37.480 --> 01:26:41.600
That is a nice headshot there from Simple and VP have no business being here right now.

01:26:41.600 --> 01:26:44.400
It is a full, full VP issue though.

01:26:44.400 --> 01:26:48.560
that BP. I mean you see where the box of victory is series on the line I mean

01:26:48.560 --> 01:26:53.120
you're gonna have to just throw bodies at this. That simple pick, right over the bottom

01:26:53.120 --> 01:26:59.760
line, let us roll in one fell swoop. There's a contest here in the far, far reaches of this

01:26:59.760 --> 01:27:02.880
neon junction map. It's ice and I'm playing up close on the card. Gets over the ball,

01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:07.040
the shot needs to connect. It might be too little too late again. Ice and the cycle are

01:27:07.040 --> 01:27:14.200
But down it twisted might have returned to form here in land where it really caps.

01:27:14.200 --> 01:27:16.200
They not chop a 2-0.

01:27:20.700 --> 01:27:25.060
That was pretty convincing 2-0 as well, right?

01:27:25.060 --> 01:27:32.740
And earlier hyping this one up, I thought this was going to be a tremendous game we've seen back and forth between these teams in EMEA.

01:27:32.740 --> 01:27:36.060
And I mean, this is a gut punch for Virtus Pro.

01:27:36.060 --> 01:27:42.260
You are so good in Stage 2, you had TM's number at every moment, you come into this event,

01:27:42.260 --> 01:27:46.060
I get really almost all these players playing at the peak of their powers,

01:27:46.660 --> 01:27:49.660
and TM just rolls up, it's an easy two up.

01:27:50.160 --> 01:27:56.060
Years and years of experience between these two, and some banter by the looks of things there,

01:27:56.760 --> 01:27:58.560
between Funny Astro and Ice Numb,

01:27:59.760 --> 01:28:02.360
and Vindication for Twisted Minds.

01:28:02.360 --> 01:28:09.200
The captain eyes set on this event and getting here was the main folks of States too.

01:28:09.200 --> 01:28:10.200
So they didn't win.

01:28:10.200 --> 01:28:12.200
So they didn't come second.

01:28:12.200 --> 01:28:13.200
It doesn't matter anymore.

01:28:13.200 --> 01:28:18.400
Now they got a chance to fight for one of the biggest accolades, the biggest trophies,

01:28:18.400 --> 01:28:21.760
the biggest prize pool of the Overwatch calendar year.

01:28:21.760 --> 01:28:28.160
They have reminded us exactly what World Champion Pedigree looks like.

01:28:28.160 --> 01:28:35.500
If you get court shooting like this, how he was on the soldier, and I mean they will

01:28:35.500 --> 01:28:41.100
be just about anyone, but huge win, court twisted minds, let's go to the stage with

01:28:41.100 --> 01:28:43.100
Ian and Fonny Astro.

01:28:43.100 --> 01:28:48.340
I've managed to find the only other Brit in Overwatch, Fonny Astro joins me right now,

01:28:48.340 --> 01:28:53.140
a little bit taller as well, but it's great to have you here, congratulations on a very

01:28:53.140 --> 01:28:54.140
dominant win there.

01:28:54.140 --> 01:28:58.140
did you expect your EMA arrivals to give you a little bit more there?

01:28:58.140 --> 01:29:00.140
I think I expected a little bit more from them.

01:29:00.140 --> 01:29:03.140
I think we honestly played really, really well today,

01:29:03.140 --> 01:29:05.140
and I think our strats were just better.

01:29:05.140 --> 01:29:07.140
Yeah, they were. And I think that, speaking of those strats,

01:29:07.140 --> 01:29:10.140
when you look back to your World Championship win last year,

01:29:10.140 --> 01:29:13.140
and then I guess a little dip in form since then,

01:29:13.140 --> 01:29:15.140
you've obviously made some adjustments.

01:29:15.140 --> 01:29:18.140
Can you give us a little bit of insight into some of the changes you've made?

01:29:18.140 --> 01:29:21.140
I think we'd just like to take time off in the off-season, to be honest.

01:29:21.140 --> 01:29:25.140
we're a little rusty when we

01:29:25.140 --> 01:29:26.140
came back at the start of the

01:29:26.140 --> 01:29:27.140
year, but we're definitely

01:29:27.140 --> 01:29:29.140
finding our form again. You

01:29:29.140 --> 01:29:30.140
absolutely are. And I think a

01:29:30.140 --> 01:29:31.140
big part of enjoying the win

01:29:31.140 --> 01:29:33.140
and celebrating a wing like

01:29:33.140 --> 01:29:34.140
that is having the fans like

01:29:34.140 --> 01:29:35.140
this, making the noise that

01:29:35.140 --> 01:29:36.140
they've been making. Do you

01:29:36.140 --> 01:29:37.140
want to give a shout out to

01:29:37.140 --> 01:29:38.140
these guys who were cheering

01:29:38.140 --> 01:29:39.140
you on all the way through

01:29:39.140 --> 01:29:40.140
that matchup? I mean, these

01:29:40.140 --> 01:29:41.140
fans are the best. They're

01:29:41.140 --> 01:29:42.140
amazing. I love the drummers

01:29:42.140 --> 01:29:43.140
as well. You can always hear

01:29:43.140 --> 01:29:44.140
them in the background. I

01:29:44.140 --> 01:29:45.140
mean, it's just it's just

01:29:45.140 --> 01:29:46.140
incredible. You're going to

01:29:46.140 --> 01:29:48.140
win this thing? Yeah, of

01:29:48.140 --> 01:29:49.140
course. Congrats on a big

01:29:49.140 --> 01:29:50.140
win there for the Astro. It's

01:29:50.140 --> 01:29:51.780
And we'll keep this show going.

01:29:51.780 --> 01:29:53.700
We've got more matches to come very shortly.

01:29:53.700 --> 01:30:05.020
And we are back much sooner than expected.

01:30:05.020 --> 01:30:08.060
We got Jake and Zoe ready to break down all of the action,

01:30:08.060 --> 01:30:09.980
all two games of it.

01:30:09.980 --> 01:30:13.100
As we see Twisted Mind celebrating in front of the fans,

01:30:13.100 --> 01:30:16.060
Jake, I had a feeling when I saw that train coming in

01:30:16.060 --> 01:30:18.660
with the drums that Twisted Minds would be feeding off

01:30:18.660 --> 01:30:19.500
the energy.

01:30:19.500 --> 01:30:21.300
It looked like they sure did.

01:30:21.300 --> 01:30:24.140
This is just a team that you don't know their true form

01:30:24.140 --> 01:30:28.100
until you take on the challenge on stage here at LAN.

01:30:28.100 --> 01:30:30.180
This is the twisted minds that you'll need to beat

01:30:30.180 --> 01:30:31.500
if you want to lift the trophy

01:30:31.500 --> 01:30:32.700
here at the Esports World Cup.

01:30:32.700 --> 01:30:34.540
Zoey, I love the Reinhardt play.

01:30:34.540 --> 01:30:37.820
TVNT is becoming a fan favorite in the room.

01:30:37.820 --> 01:30:40.460
He is of course celebrating on the drums right now

01:30:40.460 --> 01:30:42.740
with everybody in the front row.

01:30:42.740 --> 01:30:45.020
What kind of energy are you seeing for this team?

01:30:45.020 --> 01:30:46.220
And what is their ceiling?

01:30:46.220 --> 01:30:48.220
High energy ceiling is

01:30:48.620 --> 01:30:51.340
It's at the very top. I don't think there is a ceiling for the monestee

01:30:51.340 --> 01:30:57.940
They kind of go beyond that. I think the changes they have made ever since the stage and how much comfortable

01:30:57.940 --> 01:31:00.940
They look now in this meta because it did look shaky

01:31:00.940 --> 01:31:03.820
They did seem to struggle a little bit to find what's comfortable with them

01:31:03.900 --> 01:31:09.300
But yesterday TV and T on the roadhog as well them now now finally playing the bashing cap

01:31:09.300 --> 01:31:14.740
I think it just was really really solid for them and Jake you heard funny Ashrow saying I think we just had better

01:31:14.740 --> 01:31:19.300
strategies. So can you break that down for the casual fans? What was the difference maker in the

01:31:19.300 --> 01:31:24.100
compositions? Honestly, it's Tianti on the Rhine. I mean, the Shatters were next level. This is a

01:31:24.100 --> 01:31:28.100
hero that very few teams have been willing to experiment with. We saw a bit of it actually in

01:31:28.100 --> 01:31:32.500
Japan. Tianti was one of the first players to bring it back out, but this historically has

01:31:32.500 --> 01:31:37.300
fit incredibly well alongside the Symmetra, right? Mitigating some of those mobility issues on the

01:31:37.300 --> 01:31:41.460
hero, allowing you to close those gaps. And I don't think there's a better team in the world

01:31:41.460 --> 01:31:44.540
then Twisted Minds at getting the most out of the Symmetra.

01:31:44.540 --> 01:31:47.540
He got some fantastic shatters, and as you mentioned,

01:31:47.540 --> 01:31:50.740
Yubi on the Symmetra seems to be in a tier of his own.

01:31:50.740 --> 01:31:52.940
Incredible play across the board.

01:31:52.940 --> 01:31:56.460
Kevster, we're hoping he's going to have a great pop-off performance.

01:31:56.460 --> 01:31:58.740
He and Psycho seem to be shut down,

01:31:58.740 --> 01:32:00.700
simply too many shields to deal with,

01:32:00.700 --> 01:32:02.340
and when you have a hammer in your face,

01:32:02.340 --> 01:32:04.180
it's not a fun game as a Bastion.

01:32:04.180 --> 01:32:08.460
Honestly, I feel like VP somewhat underperformed today.

01:32:08.460 --> 01:32:11.260
I think they've showed better performances again.

01:32:11.260 --> 01:32:16.020
Very similar in compositions through this, so yeah, maybe he wishes enough faith for them, I don't know.

01:32:16.020 --> 01:32:24.100
I thought Kenster played pretty well, like he was finding picks, the Freya looked insane, like he was clutching out these fights, and so, for me, I'm a little scared by this twisted mind.

01:32:24.100 --> 01:32:40.260
I mean, this is about as good as they've ever looked. I did notice some moments like Fixie here at the end, held the beat way too long, already lost two players in the final fight, that's going to be something that really stings in the review for them, and I feel like for VP, I mean, this is just the level that has been the issue for this.

01:32:40.260 --> 01:32:41.700
Can you really step up on land?

01:32:41.700 --> 01:32:44.700
They were fantastic online, but here on stage,

01:32:44.700 --> 01:32:46.260
to your point, maybe a little bit lackluster.

01:32:46.260 --> 01:32:47.620
Maybe we'd want more out of them.

01:32:47.620 --> 01:32:49.380
I mean, they're not out of the tournament just yet,

01:32:49.380 --> 01:32:51.500
and they're up against Dallas Fuel and those Lowers.

01:32:51.500 --> 01:32:54.820
Is this a surprise to see twisted minds over Virtus.Pro

01:32:54.820 --> 01:32:56.420
and Waybo over Falcons?

01:32:56.420 --> 01:32:58.580
Is this the way you drew your bracket out?

01:32:58.580 --> 01:33:00.620
I mean, I don't think anyone had Waybo over Falcons.

01:33:00.620 --> 01:33:03.020
That'd be a little crazy.

01:33:03.020 --> 01:33:05.300
Also, I think a lot of people have high hopes

01:33:05.300 --> 01:33:07.340
for Virtus.Pro, especially for this event.

01:33:07.340 --> 01:33:09.100
I feel like just based on the performance

01:33:09.100 --> 01:33:13.500
once they had this passage, we really felt like this is their moment to come out on top

01:33:13.500 --> 01:33:15.780
and go beyond what they've previously did.

01:33:15.780 --> 01:33:18.460
That is our third team now into the bracket.

01:33:18.460 --> 01:33:21.820
We're going to be sending five more forward between now and then.

01:33:21.820 --> 01:33:23.620
We got to check in with our co-streamers.

01:33:23.620 --> 01:33:25.140
We got two down on the floor.

01:33:25.140 --> 01:33:27.300
Poco, what's going on out there?

01:33:27.300 --> 01:33:28.300
Me?

01:33:28.300 --> 01:33:29.300
Hello?

01:33:29.300 --> 01:33:30.300
I got you, Poco.

01:33:30.300 --> 01:33:31.300
How you doing, man?

01:33:31.300 --> 01:33:32.300
What do you think about that match?

01:33:32.300 --> 01:33:33.300
The Reinhardt coming out?

01:33:33.300 --> 01:33:35.300
you think about that match with Reinhardt coming out?

01:34:03.300 --> 01:34:06.300
I'm into the lights, ready to light, I'm a champion

01:34:18.300 --> 01:34:22.300
What's good everybody? Day 3 of mid-championship is about to start

01:34:22.300 --> 01:34:24.300
And as you can see, I got my good friends

01:34:24.300 --> 01:34:28.300
We've got special guests, we've got Poco and Tio next to me and we are going to do what?

01:34:28.300 --> 01:34:30.300
Pick up the car!

01:34:30.300 --> 01:34:31.300
Let's go!

01:34:31.300 --> 01:34:33.540
All right, let's start off with the first match.

01:34:33.540 --> 01:34:36.420
It's going to be Virtus.Pro vs. Twisted Minds.

01:34:36.420 --> 01:34:39.620
I am going with Twisted Minds winning 2-1.

01:34:39.620 --> 01:34:40.620
What are your thoughts?

01:34:40.620 --> 01:34:41.620
No.

01:34:41.620 --> 01:34:42.620
I strongly disagree.

01:34:42.620 --> 01:34:44.620
I think VP is going to win this 1-2-0.

01:34:44.620 --> 01:34:46.940
2-0 against Twisted Minds.

01:34:46.940 --> 01:34:48.140
Not even a chance.

01:34:48.140 --> 01:34:49.140
How about you?

01:34:49.140 --> 01:34:50.420
I talked to Ubi the other day.

01:34:50.420 --> 01:34:53.780
He said I've never lost to Virtus.Pro, so I'm going to have to go Tm.

01:34:53.780 --> 01:34:54.780
I said Tm.

01:34:54.780 --> 01:34:55.780
We're both on Tm's side.

01:34:55.780 --> 01:34:56.780
It's only Poco.

01:34:56.780 --> 01:34:57.780
That's going for VP.

01:34:57.780 --> 01:34:58.780
We'll find out soon.

01:34:58.780 --> 01:34:59.780
All right, let's move on to the second one.

01:34:59.780 --> 01:35:06.240
GKE sports versus Zeta division. I feel like this is gonna be a very interesting one. I personally think GK is very underrated

01:35:06.240 --> 01:35:09.920
I'm gonna give them one map so it's gonna be Zeta winning 2-1 against GK

01:35:10.360 --> 01:35:15.900
Okay, maybe I'm delusional, but I think GK is gonna win this one as well. I think you are delusional

01:35:16.400 --> 01:35:24.400
Maybe EU bias, but GK 2-1. Okay, I give Zeta one map. You give Zeta one map. All right. Okay. All right, that's crazy

01:35:24.400 --> 01:35:29.180
How about you? It's gonna be a 2-0 Zeta. I'm sorry. They're the best team in the world right now. No one can beat him

01:35:29.780 --> 01:35:38.780
Pretty fair, pretty fair. We're all divided. I think that's why the matches are going to be interesting. Moving on to the third match of the day, it's going to be Team Falcons vs. T1.

01:35:40.780 --> 01:35:46.780
I want to be honest, Falcons looked a little shaky yesterday, I feel like. T1 is on the rise.

01:35:47.780 --> 01:35:50.780
This is so hard. Okay, let me go last, let me go last, let me go last.

01:35:51.780 --> 01:35:55.780
I mean, what can I say? I think it's going to be 2-0, 2-0 for T1.

01:35:55.780 --> 01:36:00.060
Yeah, of course, you're a very strong believer in your teams. Oh, yeah

01:36:01.000 --> 01:36:06.020
To oh T1. Yeah. Yeah, I think they have the first big first ban

01:36:06.020 --> 01:36:13.460
So that gonna help them a lot and they're gonna just go in don't get mugged charge and just swinging and that's it

01:36:14.140 --> 01:36:15.940
Okay, Tio

01:36:15.940 --> 01:36:21.740
T1 recently broke the curse of always losing to team Falcons. So I think they're gonna win this time as well

01:36:21.740 --> 01:36:23.740
2-1.

01:36:23.740 --> 01:36:29.740
You know what? I'll go with you guys. I believe in T1 and I am a big believer in Proud as well.

01:36:29.740 --> 01:36:34.740
So T1 winning 2-1 as well. All of us are picking T1. Moving on to the fourth match of the day.

01:36:34.740 --> 01:36:41.740
That is going to be Space Station Gaming vs Verral. Let's go Verral! Verral 2-1! I'm going for Verral.

01:36:41.740 --> 01:36:43.740
No. No?

01:36:43.740 --> 01:36:47.740
No, maybe Space Station 2. I feel like I'm the bad guy.

01:36:47.740 --> 01:36:53.580
We're not we're not connected at all for this. Yeah, it's gonna be a 2-1 barrel

01:36:54.580 --> 01:36:59.660
Japan seems getting bigger. Hopefully they can get the dub. Okay, and moving on to the decider match

01:37:00.180 --> 01:37:04.140
It really depends. I feel like it's gonna be Dallas fuel versus

01:37:04.140 --> 01:37:08.740
I think I said twisted minds is gonna win so it's gonna be Dallas fuel versus Virtus Pro for me

01:37:08.740 --> 01:37:12.660
And if that's the case, I'm going with Dallas fuel with no, let's go

01:37:13.340 --> 01:37:15.540
VP winning 2-1 against Dallas fuel

01:37:15.540 --> 01:37:19.540
Yeah, it doesn't matter. I think Dallas is going to lose too. So, yeah.

01:37:19.540 --> 01:37:22.540
It doesn't matter who they go for again.

01:37:22.540 --> 01:37:29.540
I kind of have to agree. I think either EU team, whichever one comes down, they're still going to beat the Dallas Fuel.

01:37:29.540 --> 01:37:31.540
Okay, alright. I agree as well.

01:37:31.540 --> 01:37:40.540
Alright, and finally, the final decider match of today is going to be JD Gaming versus, for me, I think it's going to be JD Gaming versus GK Esports.

01:37:40.540 --> 01:37:45.540
and I feel like GK is going to win 2-1.

01:37:45.540 --> 01:37:48.540
2-0, DK.

01:37:48.540 --> 01:37:50.540
It's going to be a first day today.

01:37:50.540 --> 01:37:53.540
Just, yeah, be ready to, like, watch the rebroadcast for the drops

01:37:53.540 --> 01:37:55.540
because it's going to speedrun.

01:37:55.540 --> 01:37:57.540
Okay. Tio, what's your thought? What do you think?

01:37:57.540 --> 01:37:59.540
I mean, either Zeta or GK, right?

01:37:59.540 --> 01:38:01.540
Yeah, they're both going to 2-0.

01:38:01.540 --> 01:38:03.540
ZDT. There's no way they can lose.

01:38:03.540 --> 01:38:05.540
No way they're going to lose, all right?

01:38:05.540 --> 01:38:09.540
Those are all the matches that we're going to see for today, Poco.

01:38:09.540 --> 01:38:14.020
Tyo, thank you so much for your input. Have fun today, and you guys also have fun as well.

01:39:39.540 --> 01:40:00.460
Jet lag, not a problem for EMEA squads, but will it be an issue for these two teams?

01:40:00.460 --> 01:40:04.060
Zed and Division powering through the competition on day number one.

01:40:04.060 --> 01:40:06.820
Reinforce, welcome back to the studio.

01:40:06.820 --> 01:40:12.780
ZD the favorites in this matchup. Oh, they gotta be I mean this set of division team bugger

01:40:12.780 --> 01:40:19.900
I'll put it this way we could be watching the best team to ever play overwatch and this been a decade of history at this point

01:40:19.900 --> 01:40:24.940
I mean the individual players on this team absolutely ridiculous and they can play all kinds of heroes as well

01:40:24.940 --> 01:40:30.740
They do not agree here Johnny. That is some high praise. Let's see what the trophy first Johnny

01:40:30.740 --> 01:40:32.740
I mean, I agree with you the name value on this TV

01:40:32.740 --> 01:40:34.080
I said could, I said could.

01:40:34.080 --> 01:40:36.420
But we're in an era of Overwatch where we're calling it early.

01:40:36.420 --> 01:40:38.860
There's a lot of disgustingly powerful teams.

01:40:38.860 --> 01:40:42.420
I mean Zedah, yeah, you look at the names here, insane pedigree.

01:40:42.420 --> 01:40:45.060
I mean, these are all players who've had huge performances in the past,

01:40:45.060 --> 01:40:46.620
but what are they actually gonna do?

01:40:46.620 --> 01:40:49.700
This is their first true test, I would argue, of the tournament.

01:40:49.700 --> 01:40:52.740
This is one that potentially could portend their future

01:40:52.740 --> 01:40:55.020
because I think KK have been phenomenal.

01:40:55.020 --> 01:40:58.580
In the end, they have been on an amazing positive trend through the stage.

01:40:58.580 --> 01:41:00.580
Other favorites have just been exposed.

01:41:00.580 --> 01:41:06.100
we saw Waybo taking down Falcons and of course Virtus Pro was just handed a 2-0 beatdown by

01:41:06.100 --> 01:41:11.940
Twisted Minds. So now he has entered a division trying to make a statement win against GK and

01:41:11.940 --> 01:41:16.980
GK. They've found success in other titles. They had some big games in Warzone last night.

01:41:16.980 --> 01:41:21.220
What are the expectations for their Overwatch team? Well, for GK, we got to say that they

01:41:21.220 --> 01:41:26.500
reverse swept Twisted Minds in EMEA and they also brought Virtus Pro to seven maps in the EMEA

01:41:26.500 --> 01:41:30.740
playoffs and so I think you can just use that as their results being very

01:41:30.740 --> 01:41:34.120
favorable for them they are as good as any of these EMEA teams we just saw on

01:41:34.120 --> 01:41:37.080
stage now they haven't had the same experience when it comes to the

01:41:37.080 --> 01:41:40.340
international stage but they prove that proving themselves regionally that they

01:41:40.340 --> 01:41:44.100
can compete with the best. When you looked at their win yesterday over AGL

01:41:44.100 --> 01:41:48.620
what did you see from the squad Jake? I thought huge performances in particular

01:41:48.620 --> 01:41:53.260
out of Ziad and Alfie right like these guys in the frontline getting

01:41:53.260 --> 01:41:57.100
aggressive is going to be key to their success. I think if they want to beat Zedith's vision,

01:41:57.100 --> 01:42:01.660
they've got to stay aggressive. If you let players like Chu and Proper get time to work,

01:42:01.660 --> 01:42:05.900
I think you're going to be in real trouble. But if you can play this signature brawl style,

01:42:05.900 --> 01:42:09.980
you could just get run over here on Zedith's vision. I mean, I wonder for Zedah how accustomed

01:42:09.980 --> 01:42:14.860
they will be to this kind of ultra fast-paced tempo out of the NBA. With that Alpha Reversus,

01:42:14.860 --> 01:42:21.020
Alpha Yi, that's a fun battle at the end. It's Alpha Yi walking away with the W and we had our own

01:42:21.020 --> 01:42:25.580
Danny Lim catching up with the man behind the scenes. Here's what he had to say.

01:42:28.060 --> 01:42:34.780
What's good everybody? I'm here joined by AlphaE from GK, ready to go up and dominate Zeta Division.

01:42:34.780 --> 01:42:35.900
Are you ready?

01:42:35.900 --> 01:42:36.540
Ready.

01:42:36.540 --> 01:42:42.220
Okay, all right. I mean, I know you guys had a day off yesterday. How did you use that day to prepare for your match today?

01:42:51.020 --> 01:42:55.020
I couldn't practice a lot, so I did scrims for the first time yesterday.

01:42:55.020 --> 01:43:01.020
I expected Zeta to use some of his comps, so I prepared as much as possible.

01:43:01.020 --> 01:43:03.020
I think I prepared well.

01:43:21.020 --> 01:43:24.500
and I feel like we are ready to face Zeta Division today.

01:43:24.500 --> 01:43:26.900
All right, how confident are you going against Zeta Division?

01:43:26.900 --> 01:43:28.660
They are a really scary team.

01:43:28.660 --> 01:43:30.580
Are you ready to beat them today?

01:43:30.580 --> 01:43:35.580
I feel like we still need a little bit of practice, but I'm pretty caught up in the game.

01:43:56.580 --> 01:43:59.580
I feel like we still need a little bit of practice,

01:43:59.580 --> 01:44:04.460
I'm pretty confident in our ability to perform on stage and yeah

01:44:04.460 --> 01:44:10.260
I feel like we will be pretty good on stage against Zeta division and perform and give it all give it our all today

01:44:10.260 --> 01:44:12.460
All right, I'll play you. Thank you so much fighting

01:44:14.820 --> 01:44:21.980
That is Alfie and best of luck to him as only 13% of the fans think GK can walk away with the victory

01:44:21.980 --> 01:44:28.440
Actually, it's now been updated to 17% Johnny. Are you thinking GK can pull off the upset?

01:44:28.440 --> 01:44:33.680
What do you think I do think an upset is potentially in the cards here because as much as that just glazed out of the vision

01:44:34.080 --> 01:44:36.720
Gk they have their results in the media and alpha

01:44:36.720 --> 01:44:41.800
He has been a big part of that and he actually was you know a story tracer player back in your machine

01:44:41.800 --> 01:44:46.880
But then went over to the support role and I'm thinking like what is this guy doing playing support now back here playing damage?

01:44:46.880 --> 01:44:50.240
And not only playing the tracer also the cement draw so fantastic

01:44:50.240 --> 01:44:55.400
Kind of form for this guy going into this match from support to a reaper a little bit of a change in his gameplay

01:44:55.400 --> 01:44:59.800
This guy was born to play DPS. You can't have you having a guy like Alphie on support.

01:44:59.800 --> 01:45:01.900
You want to see what kind of place he can make getting active.

01:45:01.900 --> 01:45:05.900
I think it's great to call out the Symmetra. That's a staple in the EMEA. It's a necessity.

01:45:05.900 --> 01:45:08.400
It's also a necessity to compete here on the global stage.

01:45:08.400 --> 01:45:10.900
And that could be a bit of a stumbling blockboard zeta.

01:45:10.900 --> 01:45:13.400
How adept are they on these sim mirrors on LAN?

01:45:13.400 --> 01:45:15.600
I expect that to feature prominently in this series.

01:45:15.600 --> 01:45:19.100
Alright, keep it a buck, Jake. What is the final score at the end of this match?

01:45:19.100 --> 01:45:22.400
I am going to give this one to GK. Maybe it's a bit of a crazy pred,

01:45:22.400 --> 01:45:28.520
But I think EMEA has risen to be a genuinely competitive global. Are you serious about the upset set up to well set it to oh

01:45:28.520 --> 01:45:32.740
I'm riding with Johnny on this one. It's a numbers game to the top dogs right now

01:45:52.400 --> 01:46:02.800
I won a Banger, I got told that that first match was going to be the best game of the

01:46:02.800 --> 01:46:03.800
day.

01:46:03.800 --> 01:46:09.200
Two EMEA Titans twisted minds insane last year, struggling a little bit now, and Virtus.pro

01:46:09.200 --> 01:46:12.520
regional champions were supposed to be the banger of the day.

01:46:12.520 --> 01:46:18.560
But it was a blowout unfortunately, but we keep moving here in Paris in the next matchup.

01:46:18.560 --> 01:46:22.480
book another spot in the playoffs and it is between two teams who have been

01:46:22.480 --> 01:46:27.020
perfect in Paris. That is going to be very interesting with a team that has so

01:46:27.020 --> 01:46:36.680
many supporters in Asia, in Korea, in Japan. Please welcome ZELTA division!

01:46:36.680 --> 01:46:52.280
We are Korea Stage 2 Champions, a rebel roster that has quickly become one of the most complete

01:46:52.280 --> 01:46:54.280
teams in the world.

01:46:54.280 --> 01:46:59.280
These are some of the big favourites of the tournament.

01:46:59.280 --> 01:47:05.280
A Korean roster with a Japanese tag that is clearly there to shock Paris.

01:47:24.280 --> 01:47:28.280
VP, sorry, to the seventh map of the EMEA final.

01:47:28.280 --> 01:47:33.280
They then arrived in Paris and swept AGL without dropping a map.

01:47:33.280 --> 01:47:35.280
Today, if they beat Korea's number one seed,

01:47:35.280 --> 01:47:40.280
Gike will no longer be introduced as EMEA's breakout team.

01:47:40.280 --> 01:47:42.280
We'll call them Championship Consenders.

01:47:42.280 --> 01:47:48.280
Ladies and gentlemen, it's Ta against DK, it's now!

01:48:12.280 --> 01:48:18.120
Zeta division is unreal the roster we talked about. I know dozens of times about how good they are

01:48:18.120 --> 01:48:24.600
And it feels like they're due to win an international event UK. I mean look, this is a very very strong team, right?

01:48:24.600 --> 01:48:32.760
I know obviously Kellex Zod and lab that together is like a three, you know person unit with no one in checkmate last year at

01:48:33.020 --> 01:48:34.860
tremendous results

01:48:34.860 --> 01:48:37.560
They still kind of have some of that core together, right?

01:48:37.560 --> 01:48:42.880
I know you have Alphie and Finn here instead of those other two players that they had last year that I mentioned

01:48:43.680 --> 01:48:49.680
And look the stage one for them was really weird, right? Kellex wasn't on the team. They couldn't really get things going

01:48:50.400 --> 01:48:55.200
Freya and Kellex is kind of like we're all back some of that Katya magic they had last year

01:48:55.200 --> 01:48:58.320
So I would definitely look out for this team as one is a prize

01:48:59.280 --> 01:49:04.000
That's your course always dangerous. Certainly. I feel like the Dark Horse moniker has been in there

01:49:04.000 --> 01:49:10.860
I mean, not really like a dark horse team as a pullout final, but yes, but to make a final though is like

01:49:10.900 --> 01:49:15.840
That you have to be pretty good. I mean what they are and then they also play in the final in a in Stockholm as well

01:49:16.160 --> 01:49:18.120
So like back to back last year

01:49:18.120 --> 01:49:24.000
So, I mean, I do think that we should mind this our cats here was one of the most compelling sort of rivalries of last year

01:49:24.000 --> 01:49:31.280
But you know, you feel like if you're GK, you're still inheriting this whole like outside chance dark horse

01:49:31.280 --> 01:49:36.240
moniker and kind of like me and sort of Harold that they would like to shed that sooner rather than

01:49:36.240 --> 01:49:40.880
later. On the Zeta division side it's the same conundrum that faces every team that comes out of

01:49:40.880 --> 01:49:46.560
OWCS Korea match. They've conquered the benchmark in Crazy Raccoon. They've sort of you know tamed the

01:49:46.560 --> 01:49:51.280
chaos that is that roster. Now they need to export their bread of dominance to the rest of the world.

01:49:51.280 --> 01:49:56.880
It's something all of their forebears have been able to do. This is a line up of champions of old

01:49:56.880 --> 01:50:02.880
and of exciting prospects for the future, really this should be one they crash through

01:50:02.880 --> 01:50:04.880
and guarantee the spot in the playoffs.

01:50:04.880 --> 01:50:10.160
The Kiri Dan is interesting, I was going to say. Kiri Lucio feels like Finn and Kellex's

01:50:10.160 --> 01:50:15.760
bread and butter that potentially now obviously is gone here for game number one and then they

01:50:15.760 --> 01:50:20.240
also get rid of Tracer, right? I don't want to see you running around on that. You know,

01:50:20.240 --> 01:50:23.600
even though Alfa, you pretty good Tracer in his own right. They want to play Sim, I think.

01:50:23.600 --> 01:50:28.880
Something that we've seen a lot and may come out the rest of the series from Zeta with that jetpack hat style

01:50:28.880 --> 01:50:33.300
But it's quite unique for Zeta Division because Violet is the psychopath. Yeah

01:50:34.300 --> 01:50:36.860
He's always going looking for the fights

01:50:37.900 --> 01:50:42.080
We also saw Violet yesterday like airdrop and proper a bunch and then

01:50:42.680 --> 01:50:44.360
Violet has actually the one getting the kills

01:50:44.360 --> 01:50:49.040
He's not he's not dropping him off and then like leaving and saying I'll come back to pick you up in a little bit

01:50:49.040 --> 01:50:52.720
He's staying around for the party. They're generally unhinged. Yeah always has been

01:50:52.720 --> 01:50:59.680
And on previous teams of his he has been as much a strength as a weakness sometimes as an exploitable

01:51:00.520 --> 01:51:02.720
Component right you want if you're GK

01:51:02.720 --> 01:51:07.960
I really do think much of the discussion is about punishing over extension from violet if and it's a big if

01:51:08.340 --> 01:51:14.400
You can I mean lab. There's a tremendous hits game player, right? I know whether it be Cassidy or sojourn

01:51:14.720 --> 01:51:20.800
We can also play fashion as well. That's kind of the route that they decided to go to yourself a lot of pressure on him

01:51:20.800 --> 01:51:21.800
but he's used to it.

01:51:22.600 --> 01:51:25.800
And this is a bit of a reunion for Finn and Violet as well.

01:51:25.800 --> 01:51:26.300
Yeah.

01:51:26.300 --> 01:51:29.300
Quite a run they had together on that San Francisco squad.

01:51:30.800 --> 01:51:34.300
It was like a distant memory at times, but I'm sure there'd be some...

01:51:35.300 --> 01:51:38.800
some settling of that score in the server.

01:51:38.800 --> 01:51:42.300
And honestly, someone I want to put on everyone's radar before this game begins is Alpegie.

01:51:42.300 --> 01:51:45.800
He's still trying to prove that he belongs in that super star conversation,

01:51:45.800 --> 01:51:47.300
and it just so happens that proper...

01:51:47.300 --> 01:51:48.800
Is that conversation?

01:51:48.800 --> 01:51:49.800
He is the veteran!

01:51:49.800 --> 01:51:56.000
You want to really put yourself in the forefront of everyone's mind. You have to dominate proper in this game

01:51:56.280 --> 01:52:01.320
It's a high bar to set but that's overwatch for you. We're out of the gates here on to Busan

01:52:02.200 --> 01:52:05.920
Elari Juno here on Busan to kick things off

01:52:07.560 --> 01:52:11.120
Obviously a lot of damage output now with the Elari in the mix

01:52:12.600 --> 01:52:15.440
So I already gone so

01:52:16.480 --> 01:52:18.480
that's gonna be hard to

01:52:18.480 --> 01:52:24.780
sort of work with, I think, is keeping that pylon active and in good spots in spots that's hard to clear.

01:52:24.780 --> 01:52:30.480
If you have point controller, I think it's much easier, but getting point control is another thing entirely.

01:52:30.480 --> 01:52:34.080
Oh, there's Baradun! Yep, trying to chase down, probably got picked up by Lacta, so that's it.

01:52:34.080 --> 01:52:38.480
GK opening the account here, and Ziad very low is trying to touch down.

01:52:38.480 --> 01:52:42.080
Shu get a double biotic grenade there, that is punished by Alphie Yi.

01:52:42.080 --> 01:52:47.580
So, a little bit of pressure on GK, and still no point cap, it's far too early for that, it's a big fight here in the Mega Room.

01:52:47.580 --> 01:52:54.060
Yeah, there's been deep payers actually coming out on top of this right siad finds Bernard there gonna get that diva out of neck

01:52:54.340 --> 01:53:00.700
You also I think we're really gonna kick that off right is no shoe is you know put up on that high ground and like thinks

01:53:00.700 --> 01:53:05.660
It's a really safe angle. That's a really tough shot for lap day hit actually put a rail gun shot in them

01:53:05.980 --> 01:53:08.500
Doesn't take them out but those from the rotate all the way around

01:53:09.060 --> 01:53:14.980
Jewish body straight up for the flight ladder who arrived hours before their game a few days ago

01:53:14.980 --> 01:53:19.980
The run now has had some time to settle in, and honestly you didn't look like you had any issues against AGAL.

01:53:19.980 --> 01:53:22.980
Anyway, that's an interesting game you're playing, sir!

01:53:22.980 --> 01:53:26.980
Now it's going to fight over the grenade, and it looks like they should have decided it's their turn to have some point to drop.

01:53:27.980 --> 01:53:30.980
At that time it goes way better for Shu up on the high ground, right?

01:53:30.980 --> 01:53:35.980
Taking those fights with Wanda, connecting with shots on the Ana to the soldier.

01:53:35.980 --> 01:53:41.980
Bob GK, and it's just like, he slides out into a shot of the Ana, then a bash from grenade.

01:53:41.980 --> 01:53:43.420
ends up falling so

01:53:44.420 --> 01:53:46.420
such an interesting backflying comparison

01:53:46.420 --> 01:53:46.920
I know

01:53:47.920 --> 01:53:48.420
so yeah

01:53:48.420 --> 01:53:49.920
like how do you make it?

01:53:49.920 --> 01:53:51.920
I don't have a lot of PLRs

01:53:51.920 --> 01:53:52.420
with this

01:53:52.420 --> 01:53:52.920
but

01:53:52.920 --> 01:53:54.920
I understand that you're putting down

01:53:54.920 --> 01:53:56.920
the premise of trying to punish that you've packed out

01:53:56.920 --> 01:53:58.920
have like some cause I could scare friends with

01:53:58.920 --> 01:54:00.920
I think it's important that the attitude's for life okay?

01:54:00.920 --> 01:54:02.920
that's a little bit scary, that's a little bit wrong

01:54:02.920 --> 01:54:04.920
how are you trying to get away from the joy ride

01:54:04.920 --> 01:54:06.920
that will be chased down by Fnath

01:54:06.920 --> 01:54:08.920
the fuck he was having to get on out for the walk

01:54:08.920 --> 01:54:09.420
no shoot

01:54:09.420 --> 01:54:09.920
okay

01:54:09.920 --> 01:54:10.420
shoot

01:54:10.420 --> 01:54:13.540
is in mouth and God knows what angle they're gonna have control of the point now.

01:54:13.540 --> 01:54:17.620
By the go off the map, Benard is trying to stay safe here in this corner.

01:54:17.620 --> 01:54:19.940
A really big opportunity should it be required of me.

01:54:19.940 --> 01:54:21.060
He's playing passive right now.

01:54:21.060 --> 01:54:22.820
Is this a good little tempo switch?

01:54:22.820 --> 01:54:25.700
Because they don't even know they need the reinforcements.

01:54:25.700 --> 01:54:27.140
Yes, the RZ but they get back in the back.

01:54:27.140 --> 01:54:29.380
It's gonna be OCUs here for Laka as well.

01:54:29.940 --> 01:54:31.620
Definitely trying to flip this point back.

01:54:31.620 --> 01:54:32.500
Nine shots there.

01:54:33.300 --> 01:54:34.260
Taking out nine.

01:54:34.260 --> 01:54:37.700
They're gonna end up investing the Orbital ray into this as well.

01:54:37.700 --> 01:54:43.700
potentially could have held on to that for another day, Abda with the cleanup there.

01:54:43.700 --> 01:54:49.700
And the story of last year was Lapdos' transition to being a more hitscan oriented player, right?

01:54:49.700 --> 01:54:51.700
The past year felt like he was very much a part of one trade.

01:54:51.700 --> 01:54:56.700
And Quartz was always, you know, considered the hitscan efficiency or teams that they chose to, or both.

01:54:56.700 --> 01:55:00.700
Oh, yeah, and the kind of story there, right, is like the twist in mind is basically, tell him, Lapdos,

01:55:00.700 --> 01:55:03.700
you're too good to be on the pen, so you need to go somewhere else to play.

01:55:03.700 --> 01:55:09.220
the blade and then he goes to Alcatrazia, picks up the hitscan roll, and gives Quartz a proper

01:55:09.220 --> 01:55:11.700
run for his money in multiple clashes.

01:55:11.700 --> 01:55:16.340
Yeah, look at the buy-in, should've been a little higher.

01:55:16.340 --> 01:55:21.940
Either way, 46% accounting for GK, but Kalec's allowed to have re-fallen by the wayside of the field.

01:55:21.940 --> 01:55:25.140
Another time, a percentage of vision impact in control.

01:55:25.140 --> 01:55:28.100
I mean, did you ever spree here?

01:55:28.100 --> 01:55:30.820
Gonna be artillery used?

01:55:30.820 --> 01:55:34.520
The incombination of top proppers for you here just trying to get Ziad out of back

01:55:34.520 --> 01:55:38.220
because Ziad's doing everything he can to dance around the point, get a close to the tie game.

01:55:38.920 --> 01:55:40.820
Will be Zeta looking it back.

01:55:41.220 --> 01:55:43.820
Double support, probably not available.

01:55:43.820 --> 01:55:50.320
These nanos from Shu on tonight, where Shu is basically a targetable player on the Ana where he's playing from.

01:55:51.220 --> 01:55:53.320
Really devastating a lot of teams.

01:55:55.520 --> 01:55:59.820
Against the get-pass and fast-take, that position is really going to play in the Ana on the front, aren't it?

01:55:59.820 --> 01:56:02.520
Okay, his pylons already gone down, getting under a lot of pressure.

01:56:02.520 --> 01:56:07.480
Again, the Auri sometimes feels a little bit greedy in these compositions and certainly a weak point of the banar.

01:56:07.480 --> 01:56:14.120
Soft fit to press upon, half a year in scree, trying to get away, but Knife is able to run him down and...

01:56:14.120 --> 01:56:17.160
folks, that should be the round wrapped up here.

01:56:17.160 --> 01:56:23.480
He has to be able to put the back off the edge, probably doesn't care, he respects it enough to back away and then spring it back into action when required.

01:56:23.480 --> 01:56:28.360
Feels a little anti-climactic considering how competitive she can look early here.

01:56:29.820 --> 01:56:36.640
I just don't think the Awari has enough mobility and survivability to play against, you know, Azeta playing this way, right?

01:56:36.640 --> 01:56:42.680
I mean, they nanoed the D.Va and, you know, Bernard just kind of chases down Finn and just...

01:56:42.680 --> 01:56:44.720
I mean, there's nothing Finn can even do, right?

01:56:44.720 --> 01:56:45.680
I don't know, dude.

01:56:46.640 --> 01:56:55.880
What healing number, Doc, would you honestly, because they didn't win you a whole pile on this coach, so they'd be in question, or you don't have the chance to, like, settle into a full round worth of point control?

01:56:56.680 --> 01:56:57.960
I don't think so.

01:56:57.960 --> 01:56:58.880
Oh, that's cute.

01:56:58.880 --> 01:57:00.880
Okay, a lot of tactics don't never there very good.

01:57:02.880 --> 01:57:08.160
I would say this stage itself, DK has been like almost exclusively like,

01:57:08.880 --> 01:57:15.680
theory Lucio. Like, so I think it might also be that DK. This is like the banishest brutal.

01:57:15.680 --> 01:57:21.280
As I know, now you'll go, uh, shoot a brick. I play a little bit nicer into the D.va.

01:57:21.920 --> 01:57:24.560
It doesn't really play great and it can't bash enough, although...

01:57:24.560 --> 01:57:30.560
Oh, there's so much of map that Niak can access now as well with their jet packs now.

01:57:30.560 --> 01:57:32.560
They fly out over the open.

01:57:32.560 --> 01:57:35.560
A lot of escape routes.

01:57:35.560 --> 01:57:36.560
True here looking dangerous.

01:57:36.560 --> 01:57:37.560
I wonder what he's cooking up.

01:57:37.560 --> 01:57:39.560
He's actually all rotating, getting pressed on here.

01:57:39.560 --> 01:57:40.560
Let's sleep.

01:57:40.560 --> 01:57:42.560
Can he get back to the rest of his team though?

01:57:42.560 --> 01:57:43.560
No, no, big bio.

01:57:43.560 --> 01:57:45.560
Well, Hamter and Finn were very loaded.

01:57:45.560 --> 01:57:46.560
That was close.

01:57:46.560 --> 01:57:47.560
Alex got caught.

01:57:47.560 --> 01:57:49.560
He was out in the open, didn't rotate with the rest of his team,

01:57:49.560 --> 01:57:52.560
cooking up, and GK just aren't quite able to stay.

01:57:52.560 --> 01:57:54.200
Yeah, there's one collective.

01:57:54.200 --> 01:57:59.760
Well, I mean, you don't want to be all kind of bunched up in that lower area when a bash on the other side,

01:57:59.760 --> 01:58:01.360
you just throw the nade down there.

01:58:02.360 --> 01:58:05.160
Just kind of run through them there.

01:58:05.160 --> 01:58:08.160
Nights, obviously, put down a ton of damage from Bernard with a follow-up.

01:58:09.360 --> 01:58:11.360
See, there's a little concerning for GK.

01:58:11.360 --> 01:58:14.360
Yeah, this now looks great for GK so far.

01:58:14.360 --> 01:58:17.160
Okay, so, take this high ground, throw up, right up, I have to stop down them.

01:58:17.160 --> 01:58:19.360
Shoot, that's such an easy kill for pilot.

01:58:19.360 --> 01:58:23.360
Guys, I'm in there, but I'm as well with that range increase burst picked up.

01:58:23.360 --> 01:58:26.360
It's an easy, it's an easy kill on Alphie.

01:58:26.360 --> 01:58:34.360
I mean, dude, the tune also, like, having Violet shoot and proper, like, uh, we gotta start getting a salary cap in here.

01:58:34.360 --> 01:58:36.360
I mean, I blame Falcons! I blame Falcons!

01:58:36.360 --> 01:58:38.360
Anyone leech this onto the world, guys?

01:58:38.360 --> 01:58:41.360
And then you cook a bunch of fat elves as a result.

01:58:41.360 --> 01:58:47.880
So, we'll see now if uh, DK can get anything going here, his LAPT is gonna go into the

01:58:47.880 --> 01:58:50.360
patch and right-turn it just maps to the damage output.

01:58:52.360 --> 01:58:54.960
Ah, there's LAPT in the second position to have impact here, look at this pile again,

01:58:54.960 --> 01:58:58.360
another DAS-ing for LAPT, they're reducing his healing, pausing Ziadza.

01:58:58.360 --> 01:59:01.360
He's a lot of defense-making resource to keep standing.

01:59:01.360 --> 01:59:06.160
Ziadza's result goes quite low in the frontline now, and he can't no closer to taking point

01:59:06.160 --> 01:59:07.160
than the way it earlier on.

01:59:07.160 --> 01:59:08.360
Here's the chat napping.

01:59:08.360 --> 01:59:11.360
I can't let this go out of the sun.

01:59:11.360 --> 01:59:15.360
That is brutal rally here for Finn.

01:59:15.360 --> 01:59:19.360
He's absolutely necessary, but he needs to take a damage from memory direction.

01:59:19.360 --> 01:59:21.360
This is an absolute stomp.

01:59:21.360 --> 01:59:23.360
I mean, Lou's going to have some words for us after this,

01:59:23.360 --> 01:59:26.360
because we've been promising her bangers very close games for these first two.

01:59:26.360 --> 01:59:28.360
They're coming, Lou, though.

01:59:28.360 --> 01:59:32.360
Then all of a sudden, there's promise of great things to come today.

01:59:32.360 --> 01:59:35.360
But, now for you, do be lurkers.

01:59:35.360 --> 01:59:39.360
I can't use any ultimates throughout this entire round. I mean it's just been dominant.

01:59:39.360 --> 01:59:42.360
Nanna boost here is for B'nah, Shorley, or Nife.

01:59:42.360 --> 01:59:46.360
No one gets close to this fast here. She's playing a disgusting off angle.

01:59:46.360 --> 01:59:49.360
These biodegradates are perfectly trajectory.

01:59:49.360 --> 01:59:53.360
Oh, it's a South Rikus 3 as well. Oh, it's over! It's just over!

01:59:53.360 --> 01:59:56.360
Proper in for 3.

01:59:56.360 --> 02:00:00.360
And GK do not have a retort. They are gutted here in this first map.

02:00:00.360 --> 02:00:04.360
And yeah, the GK fan certainly hurts GK, but their coordination has not been up to par.

02:00:04.360 --> 02:00:09.360
Not against a team like Zendavision who are threatening to take the world by storm.

02:00:15.360 --> 02:00:19.360
It's a map one I don't think we'll talk about years from now.

02:00:19.360 --> 02:00:22.360
So that was just a holy fucking pipe.

02:00:22.360 --> 02:00:27.360
The absolute blowout is Zeta just going to run through EK's.

02:00:27.360 --> 02:00:31.360
I mean Zeta doesn't really want to play the Q-Ri and they're taking some setups like that anyway

02:00:31.360 --> 02:00:35.080
Anyway, and then it's like essential for what Yike is trying to do, right?

02:00:35.080 --> 02:00:41.520
So, uh, a very significant pan early on, uh, in no way Yike could respond.

02:00:41.520 --> 02:00:43.920
To me, the most glaring difference between these two teams

02:00:43.920 --> 02:00:45.880
is that him picks Iari in their first round.

02:00:46.480 --> 02:00:48.680
Her relative immobility is punished.

02:00:49.080 --> 02:00:49.760
Over and over again.

02:00:50.720 --> 02:00:53.840
She was playing Ana here on deck of Ace, and really,

02:00:54.320 --> 02:00:57.880
getting to play quite audaciously, even finding some off angles in dangerous spots.

02:00:57.880 --> 02:01:00.680
He fouled himself fast, got a slay, got a Di-Fio,

02:01:00.680 --> 02:01:02.440
it turned into a fight win for the rest of his team.

02:01:02.440 --> 02:01:05.120
If you can't punish a Di-Fio or shoot,

02:01:05.120 --> 02:01:06.840
well, you're in trouble.

02:01:07.680 --> 02:01:10.120
They're both almost like, you know,

02:01:10.120 --> 02:01:11.400
damage dealers in the role,

02:01:11.400 --> 02:01:12.880
like in terms of like support, right?

02:01:12.880 --> 02:01:14.680
They just kind of like are so offensive

02:01:14.680 --> 02:01:16.040
and aggressively focused.

02:01:16.880 --> 02:01:20.640
That, even when they collapse on the shoot, right?

02:01:20.640 --> 02:01:21.920
It's not like he dies instantly.

02:01:21.920 --> 02:01:23.480
There's like a bio at his feet.

02:01:23.480 --> 02:01:25.080
He's able to like, you know,

02:01:25.080 --> 02:01:26.240
he's got so many plays for like,

02:01:26.240 --> 02:01:27.480
it's like two players collapsing on him.

02:01:27.480 --> 02:01:30.000
He sleeps one, BIOS, like all of a sudden.

02:01:30.000 --> 02:01:32.920
And it's like, okay, now like great, they got rid of Shu.

02:01:32.920 --> 02:01:34.800
But these players are basically dead, right?

02:01:34.800 --> 02:01:36.440
Bernard just like goes through on the D.Va,

02:01:36.440 --> 02:01:37.760
just kind of flies through the D.Va,

02:01:37.760 --> 02:01:39.120
just cleans them up, right?

02:01:39.120 --> 02:01:42.440
So it's an easy trade there for Zedah Division to make

02:01:42.440 --> 02:01:44.680
is they also wasted no time.

02:01:44.680 --> 02:01:46.160
Hey, let's get back in the game.

02:01:46.160 --> 02:01:47.000
Let's get out of here.

02:01:47.000 --> 02:01:48.520
No subs, no profit.

02:01:48.520 --> 02:01:49.360
We're good.

02:01:53.200 --> 02:01:54.120
Kaysha's just joining us.

02:01:54.120 --> 02:01:55.360
The narrative so far is to that.

02:01:55.360 --> 02:01:57.920
GK are not delivering on their promise

02:01:57.920 --> 02:02:00.680
to be a dark horse

02:02:00.680 --> 02:02:03.120
transforming into a legitimate international threat

02:02:03.120 --> 02:02:05.280
this Zedir Division team have shown

02:02:05.280 --> 02:02:06.600
no weaknesses

02:02:06.600 --> 02:02:07.800
no fallibilities

02:02:07.800 --> 02:02:09.960
no slip ups

02:02:09.960 --> 02:02:11.160
and zero fear

02:02:11.160 --> 02:02:14.200
if you were to like

02:02:14.200 --> 02:02:18.360
pick a favorite going into the playoffs right now it would

02:02:18.360 --> 02:02:19.720
be tough not to pick them

02:02:19.720 --> 02:02:20.960
and they mean

02:02:20.960 --> 02:02:21.760
we're

02:02:21.760 --> 02:02:24.680
in the danger zone for heading into another

02:02:24.680 --> 02:02:27.700
Is it a South Korean roster that just wipes this whole thing away?

02:02:27.700 --> 02:02:30.660
Twisted minds were promising in that previous 2-0.

02:02:30.660 --> 02:02:36.200
Are we pinning hopes on them again for an EMEA to be the sole challenge?

02:02:36.200 --> 02:02:39.700
Hey, Bayo Sadiq, one more time. Give us one more great one.

02:02:39.700 --> 02:02:41.540
Yeah, I mean, hey, we might be looking at that, right?

02:02:41.540 --> 02:02:43.740
I mean, super high on BP coming to this event.

02:02:43.740 --> 02:02:47.580
I was pretty high on Yi-K, though with their performances in EMEA.

02:02:47.580 --> 02:02:51.340
Obviously, you know, unreal opponents on the opposite side, but still.

02:02:51.340 --> 02:02:53.820
You'd like to see it a little bit closer.

02:02:53.820 --> 02:02:58.620
I know I'm getting ahead of myself here, but this would be the defining win of GK's project.

02:02:59.120 --> 02:03:01.620
This one. Oh, yeah. For sure.

02:03:01.720 --> 02:03:06.720
I mean, with how good Zeta is coming on in to this event,

02:03:08.620 --> 02:03:12.620
you know, the historic play of all these players on the roster, right?

02:03:12.720 --> 02:03:17.020
You know, they have had some of the highest moments that we've had and, you know,

02:03:17.420 --> 02:03:19.420
professional overwatch these players have been a part of.

02:03:19.420 --> 02:03:25.240
We're gonna head over to get some thoughts here from one of the biggest editor-in-chief fans in the room. It's Lou with Tio

02:03:27.220 --> 02:03:28.140
Thank you guys

02:03:28.140 --> 02:03:34.500
I am very glad to be joined by a legendary overwatch ex-player now streamer for Zita division

02:03:34.780 --> 02:03:40.380
Tio-san party at Yokosawa. It's a pleasure to have you here, of course and apart from being a very funny streamer

02:03:40.380 --> 02:03:42.940
You are also very talented because you're a bilingual king

02:03:43.340 --> 02:03:48.980
English-Japanese, so I suggest you do my job today you take care of the of the translation

02:03:48.980 --> 02:03:51.980
Please tell us about your current job.

02:03:51.980 --> 02:04:00.980
The Japanese community in Obovachi is very big, but what do you think is so exciting?

02:04:00.980 --> 02:04:01.980
Well...

02:04:01.980 --> 02:04:04.980
Please speak in Japanese.

02:04:04.980 --> 02:04:10.980
Well, I think the big teams like Zeta Division and Crazy Raccoon Barrel,

02:04:10.980 --> 02:04:14.980
are fighting in Japan region and Korea region.

02:04:14.980 --> 02:04:17.980
I think they are excited because they have a team to support.

02:04:17.980 --> 02:04:19.980
Thank you very much.

02:04:19.980 --> 02:04:20.980
In English?

02:04:20.980 --> 02:04:21.980
In English.

02:04:47.980 --> 02:04:57.980
in Japanese and answer me in English.

02:04:57.980 --> 02:05:02.580
So yeah, I like competing but streaming is also very enjoyable.

02:05:02.580 --> 02:05:06.180
It's two very different things, so I get fulfillment from both things.

02:05:06.180 --> 02:05:09.780
You seem to be enjoying yourself here at the co-streaming booth as well.

02:05:09.780 --> 02:05:11.580
Thank you so much for joining me.

02:05:11.580 --> 02:05:16.940
Thank you so much for the interview and we're getting back to the game guys.

02:05:41.580 --> 02:05:46.080
I mean, obviously getting rid of the jetpack at Bastion, but then the Sim ban is brutal.

02:05:46.080 --> 02:05:48.080
It doesn't get any easier than that for GK.

02:05:48.080 --> 02:05:51.580
It's that individual, finding all the correct pressure points here.

02:05:51.580 --> 02:06:01.080
A jetpack ban here from GK is reasonable, but Violet's played every support at every level,

02:06:01.080 --> 02:06:03.080
all at the highest level, I would say.

02:06:03.080 --> 02:06:05.580
And yeah, Lucio Cury is very reasonable.

02:06:05.580 --> 02:06:09.580
Violet's Lucio is illustrious, I think there's plenty of stories that come with it,

02:06:09.580 --> 02:06:10.580
with it, but the end of the day.

02:06:10.580 --> 02:06:13.940
Legendary moments on both sides.

02:06:13.940 --> 02:06:16.540
Just look out for the sound barriers, that's all I'm going to say.

02:06:16.540 --> 02:06:19.500
I mean this is some Zeta division though, right?

02:06:19.500 --> 02:06:26.740
You can play Tracer, Sheehan, you can play Vendetta comps, you can play a lot of different

02:06:26.740 --> 02:06:28.940
stuff here for Zeta.

02:06:28.940 --> 02:06:33.300
It'll be a near matchup actually between these teams.

02:06:33.300 --> 02:06:38.660
Amogicomps, Reaper on both sides, I straight out here up.

02:06:38.660 --> 02:06:40.960
There's so many options that exist on this map.

02:06:41.460 --> 02:06:44.660
So now we can really assess these teams on a player-to-player basis.

02:06:44.660 --> 02:06:47.160
It is Alphie vs. Proper.

02:06:47.460 --> 02:06:49.760
Someone who's looked up to Proper for quite some time.

02:06:50.360 --> 02:06:53.260
Once again, it's a chance to measure himself against the gods.

02:06:57.360 --> 02:06:58.160
The Art.

02:06:58.460 --> 02:07:00.160
Which will knock down him, but the Art much lower.

02:07:00.160 --> 02:07:01.660
Can be nervous who's you draw out.

02:07:01.660 --> 02:07:04.860
Tanya first runs from both sides, and Fyler got a little too close to the sum there,

02:07:04.860 --> 02:07:06.160
but he's having to stay alive.

02:07:06.160 --> 02:07:07.560
Big, big chance for the Art.

02:07:07.560 --> 02:07:09.960
They're gonna have to use that switch, get the telekinesis in an awkward spot.

02:07:09.960 --> 02:07:12.840
Xayna, great job trying to punish some of these positioning errors,

02:07:12.840 --> 02:07:16.040
but Laptur and Alphie deliver in the DPS departments.

02:07:16.040 --> 02:07:19.680
Yeah, another knock down there for Ziad as well as...

02:07:20.680 --> 02:07:22.960
The Xayna division, they made the right read, right?

02:07:22.960 --> 02:07:25.680
Telekines and Bin both dangerously low.

02:07:25.680 --> 02:07:31.000
They decide to charge on in, but it's the damage healers there from DK who come alive.

02:07:31.000 --> 02:07:34.680
Specifically, Labda, already at an overclock here.

02:07:34.680 --> 02:07:38.680
That's actually disgusting, that is nasty damage.

02:07:38.680 --> 02:07:40.680
This might be his chance to take over the game.

02:07:40.680 --> 02:07:44.680
I think with proper on Reaper, there's a little bit less room for that raw skill expression

02:07:44.680 --> 02:07:49.680
and knife to someone like the public, just like he can handle in the head-to-head matchup.

02:07:49.680 --> 02:07:53.680
But now it's been far more proactive with the shoulder charges forward,

02:07:53.680 --> 02:07:58.680
but it might expose his backline to a little bit more scrutiny than they would otherwise like.

02:07:58.680 --> 02:08:00.680
That's a nice little purchase.

02:08:00.680 --> 02:08:03.680
Oh my, that is goofy!

02:08:03.680 --> 02:08:06.140
That's a little keyhole shot there for Lander and proper.

02:08:06.140 --> 02:08:08.140
Doesn't know what hit him either.

02:08:08.140 --> 02:08:09.640
Ha ha ha ha ha.

02:08:09.640 --> 02:08:10.940
What is that here?

02:08:10.940 --> 02:08:13.940
Yeah, dude, he's nutty.

02:08:13.940 --> 02:08:16.440
I mean that is the six shots there from Lander.

02:08:16.440 --> 02:08:17.940
Let's see that one more time.

02:08:17.940 --> 02:08:18.940
Stop right there.

02:08:18.940 --> 02:08:20.940
Aww, he's illegal.

02:08:22.940 --> 02:08:24.940
Jumping headshot there.

02:08:26.940 --> 02:08:28.140
Barely sees him.

02:08:28.140 --> 02:08:30.640
This is gonna be a cage right here from Ziyan.

02:08:30.640 --> 02:08:32.540
The downfire comes down there from Kellix.

02:08:32.540 --> 02:08:34.100
It's good. It keeps everybody up.

02:08:34.100 --> 02:08:36.480
That's going to be a really nice charge there from Ziad as well.

02:08:36.480 --> 02:08:41.240
Notched down Shu, even though the Katsune Rush comes down.

02:08:41.240 --> 02:08:44.440
Get another fight in for GK and they take first kill.

02:08:44.440 --> 02:08:47.440
All they wanted there was a Kage fight just to make it impossible for them to contest.

02:08:47.440 --> 02:08:48.640
So they do spend that.

02:08:48.640 --> 02:08:51.340
Shu wanted a Katsune Rush to try and keep them alive and proper.

02:08:51.340 --> 02:08:55.040
Actually, he uses his ult mostly on the Kage just to try and break them out.

02:08:55.040 --> 02:08:56.140
Good look for GK.

02:08:56.140 --> 02:08:57.240
Can't ask for much more than that.

02:08:57.240 --> 02:08:58.240
Last hit gets them.

02:08:58.240 --> 02:09:01.440
Place through that first flash point or at least a huge head start on.

02:09:02.540 --> 02:09:07.020
Now, DK, I mean you'll be able to get to this point first.

02:09:07.020 --> 02:09:11.060
You'll have a cage with your overclock, so a pretty sizable advantage here.

02:09:11.060 --> 02:09:15.300
Doesn't need an overclock though, front-lap, and you just might fail that range.

02:09:15.300 --> 02:09:17.460
Tracksline, yeah, now I'm trying to shoot through it.

02:09:17.460 --> 02:09:20.580
Death Glossom, attempt there from Alphie, gets the cage with nothing more than that.

02:09:20.580 --> 02:09:23.620
Lapters, railguns though have been striking through so far.

02:09:23.620 --> 02:09:28.260
When Funa out of the mix, DK Esports can fall back.

02:09:28.260 --> 02:09:30.260
Now take this point

02:09:30.260 --> 02:09:33.860
Be a little careful of the review here from the turning it forward knife finds a rail on laughter

02:09:34.340 --> 02:09:37.060
GK did get a first cap, but they don't have the place to maintain it

02:09:37.780 --> 02:09:41.540
And we'll see I mean you if you do get as soon as you want to see out in the cardiac overdrive

02:09:42.260 --> 02:09:44.260
keep him alive, but

02:09:44.340 --> 02:09:46.820
Looks like everybody goes fall in the end. So

02:09:47.780 --> 02:09:49.780
Zeta bounce back

02:09:49.780 --> 02:09:54.100
Let's stagger out z odd here. I'll leave the thing to yeah trying to charge out

02:09:54.980 --> 02:09:56.980
Not going to make it so

02:09:56.980 --> 02:10:01.980
Let's see how aggressive they're going to play here, right?

02:10:01.980 --> 02:10:03.980
Awesome, double support ult, right?

02:10:03.980 --> 02:10:07.980
Maybe push down, EK, force them out of some of these ults early.

02:10:09.980 --> 02:10:11.980
Order 2 already, and Kani.

02:10:11.980 --> 02:10:15.980
That stagger earns them like 15% I feel.

02:10:15.980 --> 02:10:17.980
Here comes the ad, Bernhardt.

02:10:17.980 --> 02:10:19.980
I split charge past his ships in the night.

02:10:19.980 --> 02:10:20.980
He had the one knocked down.

02:10:20.980 --> 02:10:21.980
He's got interrupted.

02:10:21.980 --> 02:10:24.980
He actually goes to the cage there to stop there from Bernhardt.

02:10:24.980 --> 02:10:25.980
They interrupted. That's huge.

02:10:25.980 --> 02:10:27.700
I mean, he got worse in the neutral map.

02:10:27.700 --> 02:10:28.820
There's no two ways about it.

02:10:28.820 --> 02:10:31.940
That from Banara was decisive.

02:10:31.940 --> 02:10:33.700
The rest of the fight, he's going to follow.

02:10:33.700 --> 02:10:35.420
There's really not much for to be done here for GK.

02:10:35.420 --> 02:10:37.460
It's just, it's just pleasantries.

02:10:37.460 --> 02:10:38.620
It's complicated to do.

02:10:38.620 --> 02:10:40.940
And they end up using the Katsune rush there.

02:10:40.940 --> 02:10:42.980
They're trying to like put that down on top of the cage,

02:10:42.980 --> 02:10:44.660
right, and get like a big fight there.

02:10:44.660 --> 02:10:45.580
That was diabolical.

02:10:45.580 --> 02:10:46.780
Yeah.

02:10:46.780 --> 02:10:48.220
They're going to face down both support ultimates

02:10:48.220 --> 02:10:49.580
into the next fight.

02:10:49.580 --> 02:10:51.100
Devastating for GK.

02:10:52.460 --> 02:10:55.540
They're going to be labbed at a go crazy here.

02:10:55.540 --> 02:10:57.540
What's that? What? Interaction?

02:10:57.540 --> 02:11:00.540
Pretty much. The end of the Rappelbracket run.

02:11:01.540 --> 02:11:03.540
So, yeah, it's, uh...

02:11:04.540 --> 02:11:06.540
Very well could be. We'll see now.

02:11:06.540 --> 02:11:08.540
It's gonna get you head-to-head, Matt.

02:11:08.540 --> 02:11:12.540
Yeah, I mean, if Labber, though, can connect with anything with these rails, I mean...

02:11:13.540 --> 02:11:16.540
Get this up to Churly. Right angle right here in plate for Nars.

02:11:16.540 --> 02:11:18.540
Down, Barry. The world was holding off from the previous fight.

02:11:18.540 --> 02:11:22.540
Chelix has one of these arms. After he's got himself in the corner now, looking to try and get into the backline.

02:11:22.540 --> 02:11:28.540
Great Borto has to be used fast, prematurely, and Shu finds his Katsune Rush held over from previous.

02:11:28.540 --> 02:11:34.540
Like that, Labrador, the only soldier on the map now with a target on his back as he's running into the ground by Ziad.

02:11:34.540 --> 02:11:38.540
Yes, Ziad is doing a nice job using these charges.

02:11:38.540 --> 02:11:42.540
They're just putting so much pressure on the opponents as...

02:11:42.540 --> 02:11:48.540
Alfi keeping his support alive, Ziad doubles back as...

02:11:48.540 --> 02:11:55.780
GK, that is a huge fight win, right? You ended up getting nothing with the OC, but both teams, investing heavy.

02:11:55.780 --> 02:12:03.300
GK with a nice sound there, there from Kellax, right? Comes out on top of a little bit of a later beat, now with the advantage of their own here with their rush again.

02:12:05.220 --> 02:12:06.660
I'll be trying for this now.

02:12:08.860 --> 02:12:14.620
Saw this earlier, tucked into a corner and then just gets easy access to the backline, but he's got a very old lead there by night.

02:12:14.620 --> 02:12:17.820
Those low-grade walks away. You're feeling now a cage fight in place.

02:12:17.820 --> 02:12:20.620
You're only an opportunity for the dead boss, but it might not be required.

02:12:20.620 --> 02:12:26.220
With Bernard having already fallen, GKR, 55% of things are finally looking to...

02:12:28.220 --> 02:12:30.620
Oh! Oh, gotta risk my friend.

02:12:30.620 --> 02:12:32.620
Okay!

02:12:32.620 --> 02:12:34.220
Well, I guess another one here.

02:12:34.220 --> 02:12:36.020
Now, this time to a compromise, he's got the beat.

02:12:36.020 --> 02:12:39.420
Gonna be submitted to the fight now for Zed and a vision that realizes it might be an opening,

02:12:39.420 --> 02:12:42.820
an opportunity to exploit, but Nif cannot fight a Malaga one-to-one.

02:12:42.820 --> 02:12:49.340
But uh, however, while he's built for it, here's the guy who's fighting the captors off to two another bucket of ships under the Kirikou of the Finn.

02:12:49.340 --> 02:12:50.740
ZF will soon after.

02:12:50.740 --> 02:12:56.580
He will be able to get this very close, if not to 99, which you do here.

02:12:56.580 --> 02:12:58.280
Laptop is fight-violated, so hold on.

02:12:58.280 --> 02:13:01.080
Kalex is gonna build up towards a B here, you may decide to use it.

02:13:01.080 --> 02:13:03.280
How quickly can he try and commit a make-to-wake attack?

02:13:03.280 --> 02:13:04.580
They're gonna wait for ZF to come back.

02:13:04.580 --> 02:13:06.640
Once ZF comes back, they probably invest.

02:13:06.640 --> 02:13:07.980
That's what I mentioned.

02:13:07.980 --> 02:13:09.680
Fighters over extensions.

02:13:09.680 --> 02:13:12.680
It won't happen all the time, not as much as they used to, but they still just happen.

02:13:12.680 --> 02:13:14.680
If you continue to rush tag, you're going to be thrown into the mix.

02:13:14.680 --> 02:13:20.180
You realize that this is a tense moment, they've got to make sure their defenses are nice and tight.

02:13:20.180 --> 02:13:22.680
That is proper and I'm already out of the game.

02:13:22.680 --> 02:13:24.680
Seattle's the trade, you're probably going to take it for GK now.

02:13:24.680 --> 02:13:29.680
Slap the nose, needs to finish the job, but now it's still a pretty powerful bastion to build yourself around.

02:13:29.680 --> 02:13:32.180
Trying to charge in, but Kalex slipped away.

02:13:32.180 --> 02:13:36.680
And now at all the time on this flashpoint, GK has the numbers, has the momentum.

02:13:36.680 --> 02:13:38.680
They're going to have themselves bit down.

02:13:39.680 --> 02:13:46.420
That's a niche, I mean, it's gonna be GK getting another Flash point here, an opportunity to take map number two.

02:13:46.420 --> 02:13:55.680
And you know what, I mean, you just use the cap ban here, you have a fashion ban for GK, I mean, you can like, pretty much play the rest of the series in this type of match if you want, and...

02:13:56.680 --> 02:14:03.680
...definitely maybe start to swing a little bit towards GK as they also get control of this really important choke leading into this Flash point.

02:14:03.680 --> 02:14:07.680
The matchup shifts the focus off proper and over to Luggett versus Knight.

02:14:07.680 --> 02:14:10.680
It's a matchup that GK can win.

02:14:10.680 --> 02:14:12.680
That's not too shabber though to start the fight.

02:14:12.680 --> 02:14:14.680
The impromptu Death Blossom is the opener.

02:14:14.680 --> 02:14:20.680
As soon as the inhibition are at least able to get the start, they need to stay alive in New Drop City.

02:14:20.680 --> 02:14:24.680
Yeah, they invest the Death Blossom plus Overclock there, right?

02:14:24.680 --> 02:14:29.680
So, you don't have the Overclock to kind of match or like even have it for the sound barrier to kind of rip off some of that overheld.

02:14:29.680 --> 02:14:32.080
We don't have the Blossom to break this cage though.

02:14:32.580 --> 02:14:33.680
Cage Rush.

02:14:34.280 --> 02:14:35.280
Death Blossom.

02:14:35.780 --> 02:14:36.780
4 DK.

02:14:38.280 --> 02:14:40.080
Yeah, for the time. It's gonna be a cage in the back flight.

02:14:40.080 --> 02:14:42.280
Yes, the adhoc is gonna get some attention on his own, but it's not very now.

02:14:42.280 --> 02:14:43.280
Comes into play.

02:14:43.280 --> 02:14:44.580
Death Blossom for Ralfi.

02:14:44.580 --> 02:14:45.680
Cuts short by Shu.

02:14:45.680 --> 02:14:50.280
Finds that Kunai connection, but Zed's cage ends up being sneaky good here.

02:14:50.480 --> 02:14:53.680
Copper and Banana both fall there to the mouth after the fact.

02:14:53.680 --> 02:14:57.780
But Zed and Banana Dragon's fight out long enough to get a pretty decent lead.

02:14:57.780 --> 02:15:04.380
I'm sure though, there's some growing concern about GK in this map and the rest of the series if we get to a third.

02:15:04.380 --> 02:15:10.260
Yes, Pernar wants to go aggressive there. They started out with their cage and forces the cage out of GK.

02:15:10.260 --> 02:15:14.820
Soundbar is there from Violet, but the deathbloss has ended up proving to be huge there.

02:15:14.820 --> 02:15:21.260
Now you're going to have the opportunity for Labda, like up on a high ground, or getting some advantage here with a no-seed, but no ultimate there to respond.

02:15:21.260 --> 02:15:26.660
It's nice. Drop blow already. Has to give up the premium positioning and Labda now can find a different target.

02:15:26.660 --> 02:15:32.120
Get your new rush committed for Shuva, the sound barrier for Kellex, come to like your life, it's life, you can't have that happen!

02:15:32.120 --> 02:15:41.120
That the most wrapped around, big fight from MTF, charges through, finds a 2 for 1 special on top tier DPS players, that's a steal.

02:15:41.120 --> 02:15:50.120
I don't even know, proper TPs, and maybe the one second he's available gets a kill and then instantly raid walks.

02:15:50.120 --> 02:15:52.920
It's like assassinating a backliner there.

02:15:52.920 --> 02:15:55.720
And they're still not even going to win the fight early on.

02:15:55.720 --> 02:15:57.560
Samin, the overclock's there.

02:15:57.560 --> 02:15:58.920
From Latteb and huge.

02:15:58.920 --> 02:16:00.520
An answer for Ninth Gear.

02:16:00.520 --> 02:16:01.720
Caught to be out of scary.

02:16:01.720 --> 02:16:02.440
Terrifying.

02:16:02.440 --> 02:16:03.880
Pushing up on the cardiac overdrive now.

02:16:03.880 --> 02:16:04.840
Fiddles are trying to get aggressive.

02:16:04.840 --> 02:16:06.040
Nogged over the lower clock.

02:16:06.040 --> 02:16:08.760
Infinity punished for his hubris.

02:16:08.760 --> 02:16:10.280
Sia next to full.

02:16:10.280 --> 02:16:13.880
This lets Sia get back onto the point just in time

02:16:13.880 --> 02:16:16.280
to really fight for this map.

02:16:16.280 --> 02:16:17.720
And that's kind of what they do, right?

02:16:17.720 --> 02:16:18.840
Sia.

02:16:18.840 --> 02:16:19.800
Chargers on him.

02:16:19.800 --> 02:16:30.980
They get that cardiac overdrive, TP, Suzu here from Finn, allows Ziad to keep fighting, get another charge going, but that time TPing into the OC of Nikes, he's going to land those shots on the Geary.

02:16:30.980 --> 02:16:34.700
Another key to available here, yeah, for Ziad, films us up rather quickly.

02:16:34.700 --> 02:16:37.440
Cometing clear of the dead blossom, but he needs to stay alive.

02:16:38.440 --> 02:16:40.740
He's the cage, comes out straight away by, let's go, we're gonna get caught up.

02:16:40.740 --> 02:16:43.120
Comet dies in the cage with the dead blossom, that's what you're looking for.

02:16:43.120 --> 02:16:47.580
Ziad trying to disrupt, charges on him, knife is down, Alphini's getting value on that reaper here.

02:16:47.580 --> 02:16:51.180
Oh, GK! Just as it looked like, they might be bowing out.

02:16:51.180 --> 02:16:53.260
They're looking to threaten to end the map.

02:16:53.760 --> 02:16:56.260
That the charges back on him, and shoot is quite low.

02:16:56.260 --> 02:17:00.060
It's an easy enough pick up here for GK, and at 99 apiece,

02:17:00.060 --> 02:17:04.240
it's desperation from Zed and Division as good as they are, and they are that good.

02:17:04.240 --> 02:17:07.200
They are not better, apparently, in the Malga mirror.

02:17:07.200 --> 02:17:10.480
Knife is down and Violet can only get a toe in.

02:17:10.480 --> 02:17:14.400
It's Latta that claims it, and we are going all the way.

02:17:19.920 --> 02:17:22.080
And the bread and butter for GK there.

02:17:25.520 --> 02:17:31.120
It's a lot of pressure on Zeta Division going into this third and final map.

02:17:31.120 --> 02:17:37.120
The CR on the market just nasty work all throughout.

02:17:37.120 --> 02:17:42.120
And then Labda, I just dominant in the hitscan battle, right?

02:17:42.120 --> 02:17:46.120
We were, you know, Nape had a few moments with the OC's here towards him.

02:17:46.120 --> 02:17:51.120
We got excited about for Finn, but this is kind of the highlights you were seeing consistently throughout the map.

02:17:51.120 --> 02:17:56.120
Both of these teams on day one looked perfect.

02:17:56.120 --> 02:18:02.120
In fairness, they had a lopsided matchup, but now we know no one walks out of this series unscathed.

02:18:03.120 --> 02:18:06.120
No one walks out with a couple of bruises and some harsh lessons.

02:18:07.120 --> 02:18:08.120
It always really matters.

02:18:09.120 --> 02:18:15.120
It's flying away forward in this third map, and both teams have axes on which they're going to be looking to operate.

02:18:16.120 --> 02:18:21.120
For GK, trying to put Laptur in position to take over the game.

02:18:21.120 --> 02:18:25.940
Yeah, Malcolm comps and keep shutting down the jetpack cat bastion looks but I think for Zeta

02:18:25.940 --> 02:18:32.540
It's about putting proper back in the driver's seat back in a position. I mean take the game over if you're Zeta

02:18:34.860 --> 02:18:36.780
You don't want to see the Moga right but

02:18:37.440 --> 02:18:41.980
Banning sojourn here would allow the cat bastion to make it through right?

02:18:43.100 --> 02:18:47.700
So that would be like in theory be like the go like if you wanted to kind of play what we saw in map number one

02:18:48.780 --> 02:18:50.780
You end up banning

02:18:51.120 --> 02:18:56.720
Now you could, on the side of GK, potentially get rid of the Ong.

02:18:57.720 --> 02:18:59.720
That makes it a little bit more interesting.

02:19:01.920 --> 02:19:07.520
It might be that Zedavision wants to select a map before we even consider Bans,

02:19:07.520 --> 02:19:10.720
that invalidates some of the strengths of GK as well.

02:19:11.920 --> 02:19:14.720
There's a lot to be said for winning the control map in this series,

02:19:14.720 --> 02:19:18.920
because when you come to the decider, you kind of get the run of the place.

02:19:18.920 --> 02:19:21.400
map selection, here of Ampirety.

02:19:22.240 --> 02:19:24.760
So there's no reason why Zeta Division shouldn't be able to

02:19:25.400 --> 02:19:26.400
gain the system

02:19:27.280 --> 02:19:28.920
to benefit them as much as possible.

02:19:28.920 --> 02:19:32.040
And now, it's just an uncomfortable period of waiting for GK.

02:19:32.240 --> 02:19:34.840
Yeah, they're generally capable of it, now they need to react.

02:19:35.480 --> 02:19:40.080
So Zeta Division's attempt to stack the deck in their favor in this decider.

02:19:41.760 --> 02:19:43.880
It's not only are you worried about the Sojourn of Labyrinth,

02:19:43.880 --> 02:19:46.560
you're also worried about the possibility of Maga

02:19:46.800 --> 02:19:48.400
entering some of these maps.

02:19:48.920 --> 02:19:53.920
I'm very curious what Xenon decides to do here.

02:19:53.920 --> 02:19:56.920
Again, I want to throw back to, I think it was Benz.

02:19:56.920 --> 02:19:58.920
No, Lab, excuse me.

02:19:58.920 --> 02:20:02.920
Where Benz is able to counter charge, so he had to cancel the ultimate.

02:20:02.920 --> 02:20:04.920
It's like a gut punch in the fight.

02:20:04.920 --> 02:20:07.920
I was convinced that we'd be looking at a two-row there and then.

02:20:07.920 --> 02:20:10.920
And I also thought, frankly, that Xenon looked better in the mountain comp,

02:20:10.920 --> 02:20:14.920
but my mind has been changed because Lab took God to stretch his legs a little bit more.

02:20:14.920 --> 02:20:20.520
When you play Rika, it feels a little bit restrictive. It feels like there's a hard ceiling on your impact in the game.

02:20:20.520 --> 02:20:27.920
If you're not as worried about proper playing Rifa as opposed to like Shian or Tracer, one of these like insanely high ceiling...

02:20:27.920 --> 02:20:31.520
Playing Rika feels like you're playing to not lose, instead of playing to win.

02:20:31.520 --> 02:20:33.520
You're playing to try and nullify the Malaga.

02:20:33.520 --> 02:20:34.720
Well, you're playing around the Malaga.

02:20:34.720 --> 02:20:36.320
Yeah, right? You're not really playing through proper.

02:20:36.320 --> 02:20:39.720
But you're containing yourself or whoever you put on that Rifa as well.

02:20:39.720 --> 02:20:39.920
Yeah.

02:20:39.920 --> 02:20:43.920
You have a very defined role. You're basically playing man coverage on a Malaga.

02:20:44.920 --> 02:20:48.540
Yeah, you're playing through your MAGA and then obviously your hitscan at that point, right?

02:20:48.540 --> 02:20:52.700
And Knife against Laptor is a tricky matchup.

02:20:52.700 --> 02:20:57.180
Yeah, it might be a very, well, like a losing proposition on the Soldier, yeah, specifically.

02:20:57.680 --> 02:20:58.880
We'll see...

02:20:59.980 --> 02:21:04.040
You know, a good map here for Zedid Division is, it's like...

02:21:04.040 --> 02:21:07.080
I'm gonna send that as a, you know, stand over to the bathroom here.

02:21:07.920 --> 02:21:11.620
So, I'll be, you know, I'm gonna go too. Okay, why not?

02:21:11.620 --> 02:21:18.240
So that was like this crazy. That coach does not let us do this. Yeah, we are not allowed to go to a party

02:21:18.240 --> 02:21:21.540
Really? We're allowed to do that during this year

02:21:24.820 --> 02:21:32.820
Yeah, I mean if you're Zeta you want to go back and play like a diva cat-bashing on I know maybe some you know high ground control, right?

02:21:33.260 --> 02:21:36.100
It's kind of what you're trying to get there. Let's

02:21:36.100 --> 02:21:39.580
It's Shimbalei Monastery, I was going to fear, right?

02:21:39.580 --> 02:21:44.980
They're not a mug of playground, so to speak.

02:21:44.980 --> 02:21:46.460
No, the sideline's a little too long.

02:21:46.460 --> 02:21:49.740
It's kind of hard to work around your health far.

02:21:49.740 --> 02:21:50.260
It's about to go.

02:21:50.260 --> 02:21:52.300
Malgrin is pretty complicated because your swing timing

02:21:52.300 --> 02:21:53.020
is really important.

02:21:53.020 --> 02:21:55.780
If you just swing into the open and take a face full of damage,

02:21:55.780 --> 02:21:57.740
if you're playing Lucio, here we go.

02:21:57.740 --> 02:21:59.260
You don't have the raw burst healing,

02:21:59.260 --> 02:22:02.260
the throughput to actually fix that issue, that error.

02:22:02.260 --> 02:22:05.100
If you walk into a bunch of cooldowns.

02:22:05.100 --> 02:22:10.100
Do you want to play corners if you can? Have a lot of things that break up line of sight, incrementally approach your opponent.

02:22:10.100 --> 02:22:12.100
It hasn't been gained charge distance.

02:22:12.100 --> 02:22:17.100
Yeah, Cary Lucio is available here, you know, for DK.

02:22:17.100 --> 02:22:24.100
So, I've been informed that these are emergency bathroom breaks.

02:22:24.100 --> 02:22:30.100
Now, as adults, I struggle to imagine too many scenarios in which that is required.

02:22:30.100 --> 02:22:31.300
He kept a punctured bladder.

02:22:31.300 --> 02:22:32.300
That's fine.

02:22:32.300 --> 02:22:35.300
I guess that's fine.

02:22:35.300 --> 02:22:36.300
I love it.

02:22:36.300 --> 02:22:37.500
But this is also a pretty valuable opportunity.

02:22:37.500 --> 02:22:41.700
Look how spirited this discussion is between Kellex and Gladda.

02:22:41.700 --> 02:22:45.700
Kellex, who, yeah, up until midway through this year, we thought he was kind of done.

02:22:45.700 --> 02:22:46.700
I think Kellex was coaching.

02:22:46.700 --> 02:22:50.500
You know, just happy to take a big step back.

02:22:50.500 --> 02:22:55.900
But his performance on that up, Katzia roster, the seniority that he brought to it.

02:22:55.900 --> 02:22:58.900
I mean, he's one of the longest standing players still in the game now.

02:22:58.900 --> 02:23:03.900
We're talking someone who was 3-0 WL era, a pro player even back then.

02:23:03.900 --> 02:23:10.900
He had multiple teams, played him like, I think he was part of the legion, he was part of the team too, quite some time.

02:23:10.900 --> 02:23:14.900
Every level, he's managed to find success, find ways to get the most out of these teams.

02:23:14.900 --> 02:23:18.900
Glad the Kellex and Ziad together have had a lot of success, right?

02:23:18.900 --> 02:23:22.900
You know, so I think these conversations that they're having probably, you know,

02:23:22.900 --> 02:23:27.900
ones that they've had before pretty kind of healthy determining like what we see coming into the next map.

02:23:27.900 --> 02:23:28.900
map.

02:23:28.900 --> 02:23:31.780
This guy looks like, he looks like, I'm sorry, he's like, can we get the others back on the

02:23:31.780 --> 02:23:34.900
stage so that we can go sip these solo shots of me?

02:23:34.900 --> 02:23:38.900
He, he, I watched, he was quite animated after his players had led the stage and he was like,

02:23:38.900 --> 02:23:40.900
hey, you find my teammates.

02:23:40.900 --> 02:23:41.900
Yeah.

02:23:41.900 --> 02:23:43.900
Find them and then find them.

02:23:43.900 --> 02:23:44.900
Yeah.

02:23:44.900 --> 02:23:50.100
Uh, to be frank with you folks, it was a bit of a surprise to all of us that GK opted to

02:23:50.100 --> 02:23:52.900
leave the stage and had a passion for you.

02:23:52.900 --> 02:23:54.900
But you know what?

02:23:54.900 --> 02:23:59.900
That's not denying nature.

02:23:59.900 --> 02:24:00.900
Lucio Mythic.

02:24:00.900 --> 02:24:04.900
I'm still using my old stars Lucio skin.

02:24:04.900 --> 02:24:05.900
That one is phenomenal.

02:24:05.900 --> 02:24:11.900
I heard the fastest way to get a Lucio Mythic skin is to go to X and look up PustaOW and

02:24:11.900 --> 02:24:14.900
just leave him constantly in on it.

02:24:14.900 --> 02:24:20.900
The man responsible, part of the team responsible for some fantastic new additions to the game.

02:24:20.900 --> 02:24:26.900
You should do heroes of your sort started here, and I heard he was particularly inspired in his work on this

02:24:27.160 --> 02:24:30.160
Yeah, I mean, I know great work from our

02:24:30.920 --> 02:24:35.620
I mean a lot of Ali. I love the rest of you guys. Oh, I lost

02:24:35.620 --> 02:24:38.660
But I wouldn't say I've been out of chat with him as but I love that

02:24:38.660 --> 02:24:40.660
He's actually put a lot of his own voice lines in a Mizuki

02:24:40.660 --> 02:24:46.140
So Mizuki when he's getting like in game like he has all the everyone has voice lines with their like taking damage

02:24:46.140 --> 02:24:50.700
Yeah, he's always complaining. He's not everyone should be and he's like he's giving extreme boys

02:24:50.700 --> 02:24:55.080
far the energy and I'm convinced that Scott has taken a bunch of his voice lines from

02:24:55.080 --> 02:24:58.440
playing Commander against me and he's put them into the game.

02:24:58.440 --> 02:25:01.400
That's targeting me, this isn't fair, why are they hitting me?

02:25:01.400 --> 02:25:04.000
I don't know if he's thinking a little too deep.

02:25:04.000 --> 02:25:06.480
I'm trying to see the map on one of these monitors.

02:25:06.480 --> 02:25:10.320
Look, look, look, what are you doing, bro?

02:25:10.320 --> 02:25:11.320
Go on.

02:25:11.320 --> 02:25:16.000
He's like, bro, we're playing so well, why are we getting up walking around?

02:25:16.000 --> 02:25:20.600
It is interesting, you are, I say, look, guys, you got a P, you got a P.

02:25:20.600 --> 02:25:26.700
I'm not I'm not judging the guy, but Jalex is like guys. We have momentum. Also, yeah, I thought Blana

02:25:28.580 --> 02:25:33.280
Apparently is known to keep you more alert. So just just pizza

02:25:36.160 --> 02:25:40.540
And I'm having you like the coaching. Yeah, that's a reason

02:25:41.720 --> 02:25:43.720
It's not because I

02:25:44.480 --> 02:25:46.080
You'd be great

02:25:46.080 --> 02:25:54.080
I'll probably have some very epic speeches, but you know, much like we found with D-Type, they don't necessarily translate to victories.

02:25:54.080 --> 02:25:55.080
Yeah, so...

02:25:56.080 --> 02:25:57.080
State of vision on the ropes here.

02:25:58.080 --> 02:26:02.080
Be a bit of a surprise, I think, to most people.

02:26:02.080 --> 02:26:03.080
Sorry, a bit!

02:26:04.080 --> 02:26:13.080
I mean, well, I mean, look, I think they, like Jake, like there's an argument to be made for D-K, like playing these types of comps are very good.

02:26:13.080 --> 02:26:17.080
Very good. Route 66. Let's see what Zeta decided to do.

02:26:17.080 --> 02:26:20.080
Did they ban Sojourn here to protect Bastion?

02:26:20.080 --> 02:26:24.080
No, they banned Lucio, and then Shion is the ban on the other side.

02:26:24.080 --> 02:26:25.080
So they target Kallix.

02:26:25.080 --> 02:26:27.080
Kallix brought Bastion down.

02:26:27.080 --> 02:26:30.080
And then they target, you know, proper.

02:26:30.080 --> 02:26:32.080
Yeah, we're getting rid of the Shion.

02:26:32.080 --> 02:26:36.080
So, Kat Bastion is available.

02:26:36.080 --> 02:26:39.080
I think the lack of Lucio is pretty significant.

02:26:39.080 --> 02:26:40.080
Yeah.

02:26:40.080 --> 02:26:46.520
still you know it's like something I mean Rick like you know but like Lucio

02:26:46.520 --> 02:26:53.160
also we saw if we try and play it in the area we saw I'm so is it really for it

02:26:53.160 --> 02:27:01.880
in route 66 I'm surprised they banned Sheehan rather than banning fashion just

02:27:01.880 --> 02:27:07.400
cuz like they banned Lucio right they're gonna play me maybe they play on it on

02:27:07.400 --> 02:27:10.360
with the cat like we kind of know that's the route that they want to go pretty nice

02:27:10.360 --> 02:27:14.640
because they don't like you know you could end up trying to take away the

02:27:14.640 --> 02:27:17.720
Bastion unless that's like kind of a geek he wants to do here as well they

02:27:17.720 --> 02:27:20.680
look like they're gonna be okay so this is like a champion's class throwback

02:27:20.680 --> 02:27:24.560
Sigma Zookie

02:27:24.560 --> 02:27:29.240
okay so obviously it's a pretty potent composition I'm curious to see like where

02:27:29.240 --> 02:27:34.760
the cementure is up against what Zator are going to play obviously

02:27:34.760 --> 02:27:37.840
Binding chain important depending on the choice of tank but now it's playing

02:27:37.840 --> 02:27:42.000
Sigma Darts. It's not as exciting. There's probably opportunities for

02:27:42.000 --> 02:27:45.040
Kalei to make it work. It looks like GK is just trying to play something. Why are we

02:27:45.040 --> 02:27:48.040
doing this in the current years, Tim? We'll see you Bar. We'll see you for an

02:27:48.040 --> 02:27:53.080
RSD's on the second. Okay, very well. I end up kind of going over and laying out a rebar of these.

02:27:53.080 --> 02:27:59.280
Okay, away we go. Proper thinking about the Pharah. Honestly, there's plenty of

02:27:59.280 --> 02:28:01.280
case to be made for it here.

02:28:01.280 --> 02:28:03.280
What? Who you're playing?

02:28:03.280 --> 02:28:05.280
This is a gigapod cop, Mike!

02:28:05.280 --> 02:28:07.280
Yes, this is definitely different than I think.

02:28:07.280 --> 02:28:09.280
There ain't no way you just cocked off the map.

02:28:09.280 --> 02:28:11.280
There's no way!

02:28:11.280 --> 02:28:13.280
I've not even seen some championship!

02:28:13.280 --> 02:28:15.280
That is not the player you want to lose early.

02:28:15.280 --> 02:28:17.280
Oh god!

02:28:17.280 --> 02:28:19.280
If I lose to Violet Wuyang!

02:28:19.280 --> 02:28:21.280
The poke is going to be nasty, dear.

02:28:23.280 --> 02:28:25.280
With a Freya Wuyang.

02:28:25.280 --> 02:28:27.280
And the

02:28:27.280 --> 02:28:33.200
bar in the mix. You'll have Ziago over and play D.Va straight away, and then Lapid go over to the

02:28:33.200 --> 02:28:37.760
Soju. Okay, we are... Violet probably will be titled last game itself, though. Cropper makes his

02:28:37.760 --> 02:28:41.680
return, so Navena delivery system for that, and Cropper gets a hero that really lets him express

02:28:41.680 --> 02:28:47.440
that level hop skill. They didn't even have the components here. There could be a very important

02:28:47.440 --> 02:28:52.800
victory under great duress. Lapid needs to set up on these sightlines. A little bit tough, though,

02:28:52.800 --> 02:28:55.680
against the Sigma, but now he's throwing everything, including the kitchen seatcap,

02:28:55.680 --> 02:29:00.220
from that low ground and he adds in a bit of an odd spot very much in the back

02:29:00.220 --> 02:29:02.640
point here, it's finally now realizing that.

02:29:02.640 --> 02:29:06.460
Two gets to slam the staff down though and Shugal can do his wounds.

02:29:06.460 --> 02:29:09.740
A lot of progress here though for Vader to be in.

02:29:09.740 --> 02:29:15.040
Knights close to Boltz, take it on the land up on the high ground, nobody there to be able to keep him alive.

02:29:15.040 --> 02:29:17.540
Nasty stuff here from Knight.

02:29:17.540 --> 02:29:20.420
Now on the pray eyes, this is gonna be the first checkpoint.

02:29:20.420 --> 02:29:23.420
Lightning fast. Lightning fast!

02:29:23.420 --> 02:29:28.740
Great sequence there from 9 who just hasn't really been in the conversation here someone who's like attracting attention

02:29:28.740 --> 02:29:34.040
Yeah, he's matchup. He had the less favorable end of the sojourn mirror against lap 2 previously

02:29:34.920 --> 02:29:39.980
Now really is giving a great account of himself earlier because of all those eliminations. He built that off with solar bus

02:29:41.820 --> 02:29:47.900
TP up to the high ground here through TK and get some map control back. What is your shoes on an off angle yet?

02:29:47.900 --> 02:29:52.100
He's done. Okay. This is something we didn't see from the TK in the first match

02:29:53.420 --> 02:29:58.420
See good car pressure here from Ziad as well.

02:29:58.420 --> 02:30:02.420
He's two of an attrition, but he's all good.

02:30:02.420 --> 02:30:05.420
Disfarming. Support ultimates right now, I kill it.

02:30:05.420 --> 02:30:08.420
Okay, kind of lost him a prop, aren't ya?

02:30:08.420 --> 02:30:10.420
Gotta go after the soldier, but he won't be catching him any time soon.

02:30:10.420 --> 02:30:13.420
Kill it, he's falling though, so knocked to the ground in the end.

02:30:13.420 --> 02:30:16.420
Straight trade of kills though, his laptop was looking for knife and found him.

02:30:16.420 --> 02:30:18.420
Father trying to find a way out here.

02:30:18.420 --> 02:30:21.420
Tough to close the gap, the poke come against me, but can't be mitigated in this effect.

02:30:21.420 --> 02:30:25.340
It's effective. This is what our speculates with an accretion. The Zed heads upstairs

02:30:26.340 --> 02:30:30.420
But Zed gets the car moving itch in some of this high ground without really investing anything

02:30:30.420 --> 02:30:32.180
I mean the title blasts the only thing used there

02:30:33.180 --> 02:30:38.300
Continuity rush a massive investment there. Oh, right ball of shot prediction there on Alphage

02:30:38.820 --> 02:30:42.500
Looks like that we got Susie from Fiddler. That's something else to mitigate the impact of that ultimate

02:30:43.060 --> 02:30:46.980
Gravitic flux. Lapda needs to go over. No one's there to get past the wall

02:30:46.980 --> 02:30:50.720
There's just no house ladies caught this door outside of proper. He doesn't have enough damage there

02:30:51.080 --> 02:30:56.780
Okay, all the way came down but Lapid wasn't in position to benefit from whatsoever and Violet's poke dusts him in in the end

02:30:57.160 --> 02:31:01.680
Jim trying to bask in the rage but now has to quickly get on out there as proper is hunting

02:31:01.920 --> 02:31:04.280
And he won't be satisfied until he has his fill

02:31:05.040 --> 02:31:08.440
We're gonna do mech's yard here. It's gonna be a self-destruct

02:31:09.920 --> 02:31:16.320
We'll get back in mech. Mech not gonna last very long though as he heads to the high ground now

02:31:16.320 --> 02:31:24.320
Now he'll get de-mech'd. The follow-up from Violet as he comes back with a little bit of extra speed here on the cat.

02:31:24.320 --> 02:31:30.320
This is a bit fast here. Four Zed division. Kellex now back over to the Mizuki.

02:31:30.320 --> 02:31:37.320
It's hard, right? Because Kellex can obviously play Brig here, but you wouldn't play Brig until like the SIG on the other side, right?

02:31:37.320 --> 02:31:43.320
It's like Bernardo would be playing Eva, for instance. Maybe that's an opportunity. I like the Remontra swap, though.

02:31:43.320 --> 02:31:47.160
I think they are here every late to me to be closing the gap early and often now

02:31:47.720 --> 02:31:49.960
So she gets his sigma if you're all took you care

02:31:50.200 --> 02:31:52.280
It's a very difficult map to finish here

02:31:52.280 --> 02:31:55.320
Just trying to rely on the fact that you have a lot of buffer here

02:31:55.320 --> 02:32:01.160
So what don't you think I think rushing down is he had those buttons and a vision quite happen like you can't come to them

02:32:01.160 --> 02:32:04.160
On this occasion, and I this is a little bit too accurate now

02:32:04.160 --> 02:32:10.320
The soldier play really starting to turn up and with over three minutes on the clock and then vision bearing down at a rate of

02:32:10.320 --> 02:32:14.800
Not a GK. No, they can't get comfy in terms of what they want to play.

02:32:14.800 --> 02:32:18.880
Now we're off the Mizuki and the Ram. Now we're back over to the D.Va.

02:32:19.480 --> 02:32:22.960
This is what a best of Trey will do you. You just don't really have enough time

02:32:23.720 --> 02:32:25.640
to figure out some of these more complex puzzles.

02:32:26.040 --> 02:32:27.560
You're just walking with an answer prepared.

02:32:28.040 --> 02:32:31.520
Great angle there for Ziad though. Found an opportunity to go after a knife.

02:32:32.400 --> 02:32:34.680
Gakub is out of finish mid-drop now. Though still more to do.

02:32:35.520 --> 02:32:38.200
Oh, so James tried it out. Ziad gonna fall back towards the rest of this D.Va.

02:32:38.200 --> 02:32:40.880
GK playing on the cart, continue to match in play with Banar.

02:32:40.880 --> 02:32:42.400
Hanno on the C gear as well.

02:32:43.240 --> 02:32:45.240
Survival ability, both then and the other one that looks.

02:32:45.240 --> 02:32:48.240
Banar gets himself a bit of vertical mobility with that second perk choice.

02:32:48.740 --> 02:32:49.240
Obscene.

02:32:49.840 --> 02:32:52.920
Uniquely powerful on this part of this very map.

02:32:52.920 --> 02:32:56.800
Latter, nice little rail, proper, just for a couple of times, it eventually comes back from his kill.

02:32:57.160 --> 02:32:57.660
Hulse?

02:32:57.660 --> 02:32:58.860
NOOOOOO!

02:32:58.860 --> 02:32:59.860
Spurke it up, kill it!

02:33:00.360 --> 02:33:04.840
Yeah, leaps and bows, that'll stay alive though, and deal with the effedding tracer, but this cart is still moving.

02:33:04.840 --> 02:33:07.400
Ziad is changing the ground, the Mizuki a problem for the Zeeva.

02:33:07.400 --> 02:33:14.400
Even on a good day, life might not have high ground control, but he has charged rails and a lot of free damage to send right at Ziad's face.

02:33:14.400 --> 02:33:15.700
Who contests here?

02:33:15.700 --> 02:33:22.700
Life to try and comes out on the tracer now and I feel like the high ground might finally be a safe spot and somehow, for instance, either they're under the corner called the Elimination.

02:33:22.700 --> 02:33:24.500
Fight it a little bit low, but still have it a fight for it.

02:33:24.500 --> 02:33:28.300
Kill X-Fighter, hunt him down, and somehow, Fighters avoided him for the most part.

02:33:28.700 --> 02:33:31.900
Hit the War Retriched air and Zed Division are guaranteed to win.

02:33:32.200 --> 02:33:36.000
And 2 minutes and 26 seconds on the clock has got to give you some confidence.

02:33:36.000 --> 02:33:41.360
I mean that's a ugly defense there from DK. They couldn't figure anything out, right? I mean we're

02:33:42.400 --> 02:33:47.200
We're swapping off tanks supports every single time the Lucio ban obviously

02:33:48.800 --> 02:33:55.520
Giving them a lot of trouble. Oh, look at this. That's so that's the start of they actually get to sleep there from shoo that connects on to

02:33:56.560 --> 02:33:59.200
And then you have the cops coming on in

02:34:00.400 --> 02:34:04.720
Violet pumping out a lot of damage now and on the weekend as well

02:34:06.000 --> 02:34:14.380
He's doing allowing the tracer in play here, you know, because Juno is obviously a much

02:34:14.380 --> 02:34:19.000
easier target than Alucio, per se, I think you're not playing the break, so like Juno's

02:34:19.000 --> 02:34:23.040
a very easy target for proper, especially playing like whether obviously Shionn gone,

02:34:23.040 --> 02:34:28.480
but for tracer, I mean that is no real protection there, as we take a look at the stats, pretty

02:34:28.480 --> 02:34:29.480
ugly at 4GK.

02:34:29.480 --> 02:34:36.600
I mean, it's Latin small line, but I'm immediately drawn to 4 and 7 getting punished pretty frequently.

02:34:36.600 --> 02:34:40.920
Despite the fact that B'narr and kind of playing a ball of a poke comp, it proper is 19 and 2, bro.

02:34:41.560 --> 02:34:42.600
19 and 2.

02:34:43.400 --> 02:34:47.400
She also put out, uh, like, 4.3k damage.

02:34:47.400 --> 02:34:49.880
And there's a reason why not everybody is playing Ana.

02:34:50.440 --> 02:34:52.760
Because no one can play it quite like she.

02:34:53.160 --> 02:34:54.440
No one can make a case for it.

02:34:54.440 --> 02:34:58.760
I mean, nobody can really do what Zeta can do in terms of the backline, right?

02:34:58.760 --> 02:35:11.760
I mean, have two players that are, you know, that good in the support role, and, you know, not just good, but they both are play- they both play like a very similarly unique style of play-up support, right?

02:35:11.760 --> 02:35:20.760
But they're both, like, very aggressive, you know, you wouldn't kind of consider them like they're, like, you know, very, like, heel-bottom, like, passive supports. They are in the fight.

02:35:20.760 --> 02:35:21.760
They're both unicorns in their own right.

02:35:21.760 --> 02:35:22.760
Yeah.

02:35:22.760 --> 02:35:25.760
Okay, but I hear struggling to get his team out of the gates.

02:35:25.760 --> 02:35:31.000
See how it is being met that is something presented efficient to work with them if anything kicked off by proper

02:35:31.000 --> 02:35:33.000
We were doing pretty well

02:35:35.600 --> 02:35:40.520
Like my lunch is gonna like you know, we're not is yet the pilot is still just kind of like

02:35:41.320 --> 02:35:43.760
Loading above just gonna be a nuisance. Yeah

02:35:44.120 --> 02:35:48.320
They're almost ready to combine the dive of violet and proper as opposed like a tank

02:35:49.240 --> 02:35:51.880
Obviously folks you can't are on the attack side here and get those

02:35:51.880 --> 02:35:59.320
just a moment. But you do need a certain amount of just true insanity to succeed in the ways

02:35:59.320 --> 02:36:03.560
of biotech succeeding. You just want to fit in any mold, you just want to fit in any unlabeled

02:36:03.560 --> 02:36:07.880
description of a support player. He's always done things his own ways. He had really only

02:36:07.880 --> 02:36:13.160
DMG it. This is brutal stuff and another biotech when I simply didn't sell to injury. And for

02:36:13.160 --> 02:36:17.680
a lot of the, you know, love sometimes we see from, you know, players who get in your

02:36:17.680 --> 02:36:20.760
I love even chew at moments for every one of those there's like

02:36:21.560 --> 02:36:23.560
10 or 15 heroic place

02:36:24.720 --> 02:36:26.720
It's it is a

02:36:27.520 --> 02:36:33.040
Gamble that worked out to most of the time for these players and the times that it don't you've got other stabilizing

02:36:33.400 --> 02:36:35.720
Presences on your team like shoot like we're not

02:36:38.480 --> 02:36:41.160
Okay, GK still trying to get going

02:36:42.000 --> 02:36:44.800
Already hasn't moved it about too far and they're gonna get spawned careful

02:36:44.800 --> 02:36:45.700
But not careful.

02:36:45.700 --> 02:36:50.000
Labda has been taken to task by none other than the feline fury of Violet.

02:36:51.300 --> 02:36:55.000
When I ran out of mech and dealt with those, he had dusty to try and lube it Violet,

02:36:55.000 --> 02:36:58.000
getting around the map there, but a nice little pulse bump would extreme you'll press it down.

02:36:58.000 --> 02:36:59.800
Oh no, the catnap!

02:36:59.800 --> 02:37:00.500
The stun!

02:37:00.500 --> 02:37:01.400
The pyro!

02:37:01.400 --> 02:37:03.400
Oh, the tango off the map there for Finn.

02:37:03.400 --> 02:37:05.300
Violet makes it uncomfortable.

02:37:05.300 --> 02:37:08.800
Look at the movement dude, like just being able to kinda kite it.

02:37:08.800 --> 02:37:13.300
It was like, so we saw it on Busan when he actually tried to kill Zi-Adi, kinda messed it up.

02:37:13.300 --> 02:37:18.660
where, uh, she went down into the, you know, kind of, the, anything that's like the Skybox, right?

02:37:18.660 --> 02:37:22.180
Like, down, like, where you kind of, you see your things being death on the side of the map?

02:37:22.180 --> 02:37:22.820
Oh, wow.

02:37:22.820 --> 02:37:25.940
She didn't drag him down far enough, and he's doing the movement here.

02:37:25.940 --> 02:37:26.900
It's crazy.

02:37:26.900 --> 02:37:28.260
Listen, I don't want to hear it.

02:37:28.260 --> 02:37:30.900
You all have been asking for Jetpack Cat for literally years.

02:37:31.460 --> 02:37:32.260
Literally years.

02:37:33.300 --> 02:37:34.500
10.4, you wish, four bucks.

02:37:35.540 --> 02:37:35.940
9.4.

02:37:36.500 --> 02:37:38.020
Alright, brother fall over the top.

02:37:38.020 --> 02:37:40.500
Fatton very early killed us off the, uh, white click there,

02:37:40.500 --> 02:37:42.020
and he was able to be kept toped up.

02:37:42.020 --> 02:37:44.900
This is Dominic. This is the Zed division we were expecting to see.

02:37:44.900 --> 02:37:49.140
GK's Dark Horse, Moniker only gets them so far against this outfit.

02:37:49.140 --> 02:37:52.020
I can't imagine dealing with proper on the tracer and then Violet.

02:37:52.020 --> 02:37:55.140
Faced people like another tracer. Yeah, just take that out for you here.

02:37:55.140 --> 02:37:59.140
We're gonna get a potentially what, a nano on the proper here.

02:37:59.140 --> 02:38:00.900
Just launches them into the spot.

02:38:00.900 --> 02:38:01.460
Use!

02:38:02.420 --> 02:38:04.100
Alright, recalls over quiet for proper.

02:38:04.100 --> 02:38:06.660
The recall brings them back to that high ground though around the corner.

02:38:06.660 --> 02:38:07.860
That's like pretty crazy.

02:38:07.860 --> 02:38:11.860
The add-ins from 4 now, but now it's been hard to shoot.

02:38:11.860 --> 02:38:15.860
Okay, overclocked by Volato. He's really gonna make a difference here.

02:38:15.860 --> 02:38:17.860
He's gonna break this game wide open.

02:38:17.860 --> 02:38:20.860
Hey, guys, entry comes down to make it a little bit safer for Volato to place here,

02:38:20.860 --> 02:38:22.860
but now he's taking the brunt of things by himself.

02:38:22.860 --> 02:38:25.860
Destructed, a remake opportunity could be huge. Grenade,

02:38:25.860 --> 02:38:28.860
Catnap, Kellex dealt with Bipro, but this is about as good as it gets.

02:38:28.860 --> 02:38:33.860
It's dominance, folks. Pure and simple as Zayna Division had decided to win the game.

02:38:33.860 --> 02:38:35.860
And you see a lot of the time when we're on with Vailio,

02:38:35.860 --> 02:38:41.620
Like the movement right using like the lifeline so you can kind of like three PC around corners

02:38:42.020 --> 02:38:48.540
This is being an absolute blowout in our third and a final map geek a awesome on new junk city

02:38:48.540 --> 02:38:50.540
But the inhibition just turned up here

02:38:50.980 --> 02:38:53.860
on route 66 bulls bottom here from proper

02:38:54.700 --> 02:38:56.700
The most certainly seal the deal

02:38:57.340 --> 02:39:03.300
Friar interesting choice by the good idea on left is a little bit dangerous for the time being his pulse spot being cradle

02:39:03.300 --> 02:39:05.300
B hatch Steven.

02:39:05.300 --> 02:39:10.300
Banara looks a bit coastier to try and maybe get a bit of pressure on Finn, but a little bit lower now, and a bit off the spot.

02:39:10.300 --> 02:39:12.300
He's a double backcrop, has gone down to Kellex though.

02:39:12.300 --> 02:39:15.300
He's not even a chain, even involved in that elimination, but they're fired yet again.

02:39:15.300 --> 02:39:18.300
He found London, no more Freyja in the mix and shoot this time.

02:39:18.300 --> 02:39:23.300
Get the VIP treatment, flown up for a moment, into the ideal sideline to keep his team alive.

02:39:23.300 --> 02:39:28.300
And there's a nano here for Banara, making it very, very sticky to clear this D.Va from the point.

02:39:28.300 --> 02:39:31.100
Died goes in, Benard joined by five at the delivery time.

02:39:31.100 --> 02:39:34.100
Enough for probably get back into the fight with the Pals for Mews sitting on earlier.

02:39:34.100 --> 02:39:37.100
Fighting over the mega health practice, Benard and Kalex is eventually fallen.

02:39:37.100 --> 02:39:40.100
Self destruct and up top the edge, not to be!

02:39:40.100 --> 02:39:43.100
Fast Korea, now EMEA!

02:39:43.100 --> 02:39:48.100
Zayna Division's claim to the championship goes louder with every vanquish depotant.

02:39:48.100 --> 02:40:00.700
That bit dicey in map number two, but map three and map number one as dominant as we've

02:40:00.700 --> 02:40:02.340
ever seen them Zeta Division.

02:40:02.340 --> 02:40:10.980
They take care of business here towards the end as these Anna cat comps are just so filthy

02:40:10.980 --> 02:40:11.980
from Zeta Division.

02:40:11.980 --> 02:40:19.380
easy Violet, Hannah Reva with his former teammate Finn there as nobody else can kind of match

02:40:19.380 --> 02:40:22.980
that style and it is so difficult to deal with.

02:40:22.980 --> 02:40:26.820
It's one thing to get a map of this team in a best of three.

02:40:26.820 --> 02:40:29.100
It's another to solve them.

02:40:29.100 --> 02:40:33.060
In a best of five, God forbid, a best of seven.

02:40:33.060 --> 02:40:37.260
The only time this team looked a little weak it was when proper had to become a role player

02:40:37.260 --> 02:40:41.220
for a map and the cat and bastion combo was not available.

02:40:41.220 --> 02:40:46.760
And you're so worried about proper right on tracer, and then you have this jetpack hat above you

02:40:46.760 --> 02:40:51.140
You have for NAR coming in on the diva. I mean just so many threats

02:40:51.500 --> 02:40:56.760
That's what allows you to just kind of play from range a lot of times extremely safe right not under pressure

02:40:57.260 --> 02:40:59.880
We're getting a squirt around the map by violet

02:41:01.340 --> 02:41:06.620
It's gonna be a very difficult problem to solve there is a division and into the stage now and here from blue

02:41:06.620 --> 02:41:09.460
We're quite possibly the greatest player we've ever touched the game

02:41:11.220 --> 02:41:19.400
Thank you very much guys. Congratulations proper NZT division Chukaio for this victory. Welcome to playoffs here in Paris

02:41:19.400 --> 02:41:25.060
I wanted to know proper you are considered by many as the best DPS player in the world

02:41:25.100 --> 02:41:27.780
You've been at the top level for such a long time

02:41:27.780 --> 02:41:31.740
You were playing the finals of the watch league in 2022 yet

02:41:31.740 --> 02:41:37.460
You are still at the top even though there is many young blood young players that want to come and take down your crown

02:41:37.460 --> 02:41:40.760
So how do you manage to still be at the top level after all those years?

02:41:41.220 --> 02:41:43.220
First of all, congratulations to the pro players.

02:41:43.220 --> 02:41:44.220
The first question is,

02:41:44.220 --> 02:41:48.220
you have been in the top 3 for a long time,

02:41:48.220 --> 02:41:50.220
and you are the best DPS player in the world.

02:41:50.220 --> 02:41:52.220
You are the pro player in the top 3.

02:41:52.220 --> 02:41:56.220
You have been in the Overwatch League for 22 years,

02:41:56.220 --> 02:41:59.220
and you have been in the top 3 for a long time.

02:41:59.220 --> 02:42:03.220
Despite the new players coming up,

02:42:03.220 --> 02:42:06.220
what is the secret to maintaining the top 3?

02:42:06.220 --> 02:42:32.220
I'm a very competitive person, so I hate losing.

02:42:32.220 --> 02:42:52.220
Yeah, I mean that actually was what drives me as a competitor, but that being said, I mean I do feel that many young players coming here actually have better mechanics than me, but I try to cover it with more experience and more wit, so I think that makes a difference for me.

02:42:52.220 --> 02:42:56.220
Yeah, that's what your added value is, and I think that's a very interesting answer.

02:42:56.220 --> 02:43:02.220
So first question, you're one of the best players in the world.

02:43:02.220 --> 02:43:05.220
It's been years that you're at the top. How do you get out of it?

02:43:05.220 --> 02:43:08.220
All the young players come to try to take your crown.

02:43:08.220 --> 02:43:12.220
I'm a very competitive player, it's stupid, but that's what's driving me.

02:43:12.220 --> 02:43:15.220
I know there are a lot of young players who are better mechanically than me,

02:43:15.220 --> 02:43:21.220
but I try to compensate with my experience and my mastery of the players.

02:43:21.220 --> 02:43:25.220
But I don't know if you want to answer this question, but I really want to ask it to you.

02:43:25.220 --> 02:43:31.220
Last year, you won EWC with Falcons. You changed teams still. You are in playoffs now.

02:43:31.220 --> 02:43:35.220
Falcons are going to be playing the game afterwards, so can they win without you?

02:44:21.220 --> 02:44:24.220
Right. I think that's a very, very good answer indeed.

02:44:24.220 --> 02:44:25.220
Of course.

02:44:25.220 --> 02:44:29.220
The other question I just asked, last year, you won the WVC with Falcons.

02:44:29.220 --> 02:44:31.220
You've changed teams since then. You're in play-off.

02:44:31.220 --> 02:44:33.220
Falcons, not yet? Well, it's going to be a battle for its place.

02:44:33.220 --> 02:44:34.220
Can they win without you?

02:44:34.220 --> 02:44:36.220
In fact, I hope Falcons will qualify.

02:44:36.220 --> 02:44:39.220
But in fact, they won't be in the team.

02:44:39.220 --> 02:44:40.220
So good luck.

02:44:40.220 --> 02:44:41.220
Because I think it's going to be a show.

02:44:41.220 --> 02:44:45.220
And last but not least, you have many fans in Korea, in Japan, here in France,

02:44:45.220 --> 02:44:46.220
and also worldwide.

02:44:46.220 --> 02:44:50.220
So is there anything you want to tell us in the language you want, probably in Korea, maybe?

02:44:50.220 --> 02:44:51.220
In Korea, maybe?

02:45:02.220 --> 02:45:04.220
Thank you for supporting us.

02:45:04.220 --> 02:45:07.220
We will keep winning. Thank you.

02:45:07.220 --> 02:45:10.220
That's beautiful, and you gave it to me in English.

02:45:10.220 --> 02:45:11.220
Thank you so much.

02:45:11.220 --> 02:45:13.220
Once again, Chkae-ho.

02:45:13.220 --> 02:45:16.220
Thank you so much for joining me, guys, and that's all for the translation.

02:45:16.220 --> 02:45:22.460
and stay with us because in a few minutes we're going to be moving on to Elimination Games. Stand by.

02:45:29.260 --> 02:45:35.140
Oh, we love the cosplay out here in Paris and we love the gameplay from Zelda Division.

02:45:35.140 --> 02:45:39.740
Zelda Division is their new name. Jake, let's take a look here at Game 3 because Game 2,

02:45:39.740 --> 02:45:46.380
New Junker City was looking great for GK, not the case when we get to Route 66, the classic map

02:45:46.380 --> 02:45:49.660
with an unfamiliar result for the EMEA squad.

02:45:49.660 --> 02:45:54.540
I mean, Shu, still the goat on Ana. You just can't take it away from this guy.

02:45:54.540 --> 02:45:58.620
He's the best ever to do it on the hero. I think that's fair to say at this point,

02:45:58.620 --> 02:46:03.500
one of our longest standing elite players in the game. And so, you know, we talk about

02:46:03.500 --> 02:46:06.540
Prophet being one of the best in the game. They've also got Shu in the back line.

02:46:06.540 --> 02:46:11.340
When Zeta can play that style, bringing out the honor, they are the best in the world to do it.

02:46:11.340 --> 02:46:14.860
In a different series though, we don't start in Busan, I think we can see a different result.

02:46:14.860 --> 02:46:19.900
Johnny, ZetaVision of course has proper, they have the incredible backline with Shu.

02:46:20.460 --> 02:46:23.900
But this was the player's choice, right, to go to this new squad.

02:46:23.900 --> 02:46:28.300
So why did they choose to go here, and why are they playing with these other three?

02:46:28.300 --> 02:46:31.900
I mean, look, Chris Rakuna team Falcons, that used to be the Korean rivalry,

02:46:31.900 --> 02:46:34.060
the past couple of years with OWCS.

02:46:34.060 --> 02:46:36.060
But I think they went back and forth a couple of times.

02:46:36.060 --> 02:46:38.060
They both of those teams had their own limitations.

02:46:38.060 --> 02:46:41.060
And probably these players felt like we want to try something new.

02:46:41.060 --> 02:46:43.060
We needed a new fresh air, new adventure.

02:46:43.060 --> 02:46:47.060
And so these players came together and they're just incredibly skilled individually.

02:46:47.060 --> 02:46:49.060
But those compositions we saw on Route 66,

02:46:49.060 --> 02:46:51.060
no other teams really played those compositions.

02:46:51.060 --> 02:46:53.060
They are a one-on-one.

02:46:53.060 --> 02:46:55.060
They should be the favorites to win the entire thing.

02:46:55.060 --> 02:46:59.060
And they got a set of tones out of the gate with this sweep dart between Cusablast,

02:46:59.060 --> 02:47:01.180
some blasts, knocker players off the map.

02:47:01.180 --> 02:47:02.220
They steamroll them.

02:47:02.220 --> 02:47:04.820
There was four minutes and 30 seconds left on the clock

02:47:04.820 --> 02:47:06.660
after they secured the second point.

02:47:06.660 --> 02:47:08.860
Their opponent didn't even get past the gas station.

02:47:08.860 --> 02:47:10.660
So Jake, we take a look forward here.

02:47:10.660 --> 02:47:12.220
What is next for Zedr Division?

02:47:12.220 --> 02:47:14.940
What do we have to look forward to for your GK fan?

02:47:14.940 --> 02:47:16.500
It's going to be a scary team to go up against.

02:47:16.500 --> 02:47:18.580
I don't think anybody wants to match up against Zedr,

02:47:18.580 --> 02:47:19.580
as Donny said, right?

02:47:19.580 --> 02:47:21.300
The fact that they're playing their own style,

02:47:21.300 --> 02:47:22.380
something unique, you know,

02:47:22.380 --> 02:47:24.340
I think all the best teams in this tournament

02:47:24.340 --> 02:47:26.340
have found a way to differentiate themselves

02:47:26.340 --> 02:47:27.460
from the competition

02:47:27.460 --> 02:47:30.260
and a way to be more, more difficult to prepare for.

02:47:30.260 --> 02:47:31.860
It's also a style that I just don't think

02:47:31.860 --> 02:47:33.300
other teams are gonna be confident to play.

02:47:33.300 --> 02:47:35.340
Like, you watch Shu from his POV

02:47:35.340 --> 02:47:36.780
and he just hits everything.

02:47:36.780 --> 02:47:38.700
Like, when the honor slips up, you know,

02:47:38.700 --> 02:47:40.260
one cooldown goes awry,

02:47:40.260 --> 02:47:42.900
you're essentially a sitting duck of free kill on the map.

02:47:42.900 --> 02:47:45.220
It's only because Shu is just so unbelievably

02:47:45.220 --> 02:47:47.900
lights out on the hero that he can consistently get away

02:47:47.900 --> 02:47:48.980
and win his 1v1s.

02:47:48.980 --> 02:47:51.140
Their trace of play was pretty darn good as well.

02:47:51.140 --> 02:47:54.000
Let's take a look though at when TK was finding success.

02:47:54.000 --> 02:47:55.460
That was in game number two,

02:47:55.460 --> 02:47:57.920
We take a look at the highlights from Newjunk City.

02:47:57.920 --> 02:48:02.860
This is what we should expect from the EMEA squad moving forward when they're at their best.

02:48:02.860 --> 02:48:05.060
Is it with the mogging and play? What did you see?

02:48:05.060 --> 02:48:09.060
Yeah, I mean, it's these brawl compositions who usually play together as five-butt alpha.

02:48:09.060 --> 02:48:11.760
You have some incredible mechanics. These shots from Lava.

02:48:11.760 --> 02:48:17.260
So, I mean, this is just fantastic gameplay on par with players like Fjord, for example.

02:48:17.260 --> 02:48:19.460
And this is a win condition for EMEA.

02:48:19.460 --> 02:48:22.460
Jake, you brought this up in the green room as well.

02:48:22.460 --> 02:48:25.220
Well, I think if this team is able to get to the playoffs,

02:48:25.220 --> 02:48:27.020
where we open up to a best of five,

02:48:27.020 --> 02:48:29.380
they're actually allowed to play more of these kind of styles.

02:48:29.380 --> 02:48:31.980
And we have more opportunities to play their preferred style.

02:48:31.980 --> 02:48:34.580
I think that is when they could be better team,

02:48:34.580 --> 02:48:36.420
but they don't have that opposing bounce against them.

02:48:36.420 --> 02:48:38.060
I mean, watching the back on New Jug City,

02:48:38.060 --> 02:48:39.060
there were some fights there.

02:48:39.060 --> 02:48:41.580
I was legitimately stunned by GK's ability to win.

02:48:41.580 --> 02:48:43.500
I mean, just their raw skill and that style.

02:48:43.500 --> 02:48:44.540
So I want to see more from them.

02:48:44.540 --> 02:48:45.940
They're not out just yet.

02:48:45.940 --> 02:48:51.020
GKE Sports, JD Gaming, who goes home today?

02:48:51.020 --> 02:48:52.660
Jake makes the call early.

02:48:52.660 --> 02:48:55.820
I just, I've got KK going a long way in this tournament personally.

02:48:55.820 --> 02:48:59.720
I think we didn't get to see really what, what I would have hoped for them in that match,

02:48:59.720 --> 02:49:03.980
but it's because they go up against Zeta on Busan and Route 66, playing these crazy

02:49:03.980 --> 02:49:06.260
on a comp. That's incredibly hard to match up into.

02:49:06.580 --> 02:49:10.180
I think, and they get a more conventional matchup, which I would expect against JD gaming.

02:49:10.380 --> 02:49:12.320
I think he cable annihilate them to zero.

02:49:12.320 --> 02:49:15.680
Johnny, we've seen three teams through who's the strongest so far.

02:49:15.780 --> 02:49:16.860
It's got to be set of the vision.

02:49:16.860 --> 02:49:18.360
I mean, what we just saw, that was cinema.

02:49:18.360 --> 02:49:20.060
That was just over cinema.

02:49:20.060 --> 02:49:21.460
You can't ask for much more.

02:49:21.460 --> 02:49:25.380
We have much more Overwatch coming your way after the break ladies and gentlemen.

02:49:25.380 --> 02:49:27.980
Lock in, it's a long day here at EWC.

02:49:50.060 --> 02:49:57.060
The human body was built to move.

02:49:57.060 --> 02:50:04.060
Not trapped at the desk in one single posture for 12 hours a day.

02:50:04.060 --> 02:50:07.060
It's time your chair evolved.

02:50:07.060 --> 02:50:11.060
This is Secret Lab Titan Evil.

02:50:11.060 --> 02:50:14.060
Ergonomically engineered for you.

02:50:14.060 --> 02:50:15.060
Gamers.

02:50:15.060 --> 02:50:16.060
Hybrid workers.

02:50:16.060 --> 02:50:18.060
Artists.

02:50:18.060 --> 02:50:20.060
Every move

02:50:23.300 --> 02:50:27.180
What's up everybody? Yes, it's time for another pick-ups we heard from Poco and

02:50:27.460 --> 02:50:31.660
Tio, but hey we can't forget about the fans, right? We got our friend here. What's your name?

02:50:31.900 --> 02:50:36.420
Louis, Louis Chappell. Louis. Yeah, Louis nice to meet you. Thank you so much for doing this with me

02:50:36.420 --> 02:50:40.700
All right, we're gonna be predicting T1 versus team Falcons first. I said

02:50:41.180 --> 02:50:47.020
When I was with Poco and Tio T1's gonna win 2-1. What do you think? I was gonna say the exact same thing

02:50:47.020 --> 02:50:51.540
I think Falcons they're on their way out. I'm sorry T1. I've got it. All right. We're on the same page

02:50:51.540 --> 02:50:58.420
All right next match vero versus space station gaming. I am a very big barrel fan. They had an amazing performance yesterday

02:50:58.420 --> 02:51:01.580
I'm rooting for a barrel. What do you think? I'm also rooting for barrel

02:51:04.140 --> 02:51:07.780
All right, they're all winning at T1 winning. We'll find out soon. Thank you

02:51:17.020 --> 02:51:19.020
I

02:52:47.020 --> 02:53:01.900
The Falcons have arrived in Paris for day number three.

02:53:01.900 --> 02:53:06.380
They didn't expect to be in the group stages still, but here they are after losing to Wabble

02:53:06.380 --> 02:53:08.140
on the other side of this flight.

02:53:08.140 --> 02:53:14.180
T1 was able to dismantle their competition in a swift 2-0 to close out day number two.

02:53:14.180 --> 02:53:19.500
They meet up as one teams key will get crushed the other team will power into our bracket

02:53:19.500 --> 02:53:21.020
It's a cider matches all day

02:53:21.020 --> 02:53:25.140
We welcome so he back into the studio and so we this should be a fun one

02:53:25.140 --> 02:53:28.660
You said this is gonna be a spicy meatball. Oh, it's so spicy

02:53:28.820 --> 02:53:32.780
I want to say so many things that we're not saying on broadcast

02:53:32.780 --> 02:53:36.500
Oh, you know, it's one of those matchups with if you know, you know, okay

02:53:36.500 --> 02:53:40.900
It's one of those there's just a lot of history between those if I don't know is there any

02:53:41.780 --> 02:53:43.780
Nothing I can do

02:53:44.180 --> 02:53:49.060
We look at them, just who played with each other formally in the Overwatch League?

02:53:49.060 --> 02:53:54.700
There's just a lot of history between those players, Fielder and Xio and Donghae, they all played together and you know,

02:53:54.700 --> 02:53:58.620
I think Donghae is gonna be very motivated to win this one.

02:53:58.620 --> 02:54:02.220
Let's start with the T1 squad Johnny, because we got the clips ready.

02:54:02.220 --> 02:54:08.420
This was a beatdown on 9Z. If you're looking for stars from T1, who are you looking at?

02:54:08.420 --> 02:54:13.180
So, yes, they just beat down 9Z pretty handily, that's what we expected.

02:54:13.180 --> 02:54:16.700
But they did take a loss to Twisted Mind in the earlier matchup.

02:54:16.700 --> 02:54:19.500
And that's where actually saw some fantastic signs out of this team.

02:54:19.500 --> 02:54:21.900
I think Donghaek here playing Demaul against Hainzi.

02:54:21.900 --> 02:54:25.100
I think he was a great player against Twisted Minds.

02:54:25.100 --> 02:54:27.100
And Twisted Minds were playing this in a competition.

02:54:27.100 --> 02:54:29.260
And I think we'll see similar matchup today.

02:54:29.260 --> 02:54:33.020
So, if T1 is to upset team Falcons in this one,

02:54:33.020 --> 02:54:35.660
I think Donghaek will have an amazing part to play in this one.

02:54:35.660 --> 02:54:41.180
And like Zoe mentioned, the rivalry between Donghaek and Xiuwen Fielder on the Falcons side,

02:54:41.180 --> 02:54:45.780
That is just one of the hardest rivalries in the entire scene. So I can't wait to see this one more time

02:54:46.060 --> 02:54:50.780
What is more fun bowling DPS as it take or bowling the back line?

02:54:51.660 --> 02:54:53.660
Yeah

02:54:54.700 --> 02:54:58.720
We love this for donghaek today best of luck to him at 9z

02:54:59.820 --> 02:55:01.820
Unfortunately had to take a shower

02:55:01.820 --> 02:55:03.820
What does that mean? Does it mean he's lost?

02:55:03.820 --> 02:55:05.820
Yeah, something like that.

02:55:05.820 --> 02:55:07.820
I'm a big fan of the sign.

02:55:07.820 --> 02:55:09.820
For absolutely no reason, but go Switzerland.

02:55:09.820 --> 02:55:11.820
Overwatch Switzerland. Shout out to the stream.

02:55:11.820 --> 02:55:13.820
What?

02:55:13.820 --> 02:55:15.820
We got to talk about the Falcons before we do.

02:55:15.820 --> 02:55:17.820
Danny had the opportunity to chat with someone.

02:55:17.820 --> 02:55:19.820
The player.

02:55:19.820 --> 02:55:22.820
Thanks guys. I'm here joined by someone from Team Falcons.

02:55:22.820 --> 02:55:24.820
Someone, let's quickly talk about yesterday's match

02:55:24.820 --> 02:55:25.820
against Rable Gaming.

02:55:25.820 --> 02:55:27.820
Bit of a surprising loss for you guys.

02:55:27.820 --> 02:55:29.820
What went wrong for your team?

02:55:29.820 --> 02:55:33.820
What were the problems you faced in the last game, in the Wave game?

02:55:33.820 --> 02:55:40.820
We had a good time yesterday, but I think we had a big problem in the middle.

02:55:40.820 --> 02:55:45.820
We thought we were stronger in the 3rd game, so we need to fix that.

02:55:59.820 --> 02:56:03.020
That was also the same thing for map 3 and call of sale as well

02:56:03.020 --> 02:56:08.500
We couldn't finish strong enough and I feel like that was what led to our defeat against webo gaming now

02:56:08.500 --> 02:56:11.380
Looking forward to today's match against T1. How are you guys feeling?

02:56:11.380 --> 02:56:13.380
Are you confident in today's match against T1?

02:56:13.380 --> 02:56:16.380
Yes, we are a strong team with T1 players.

02:56:16.380 --> 02:56:20.380
We thought we showed a good performance yesterday.

02:56:20.380 --> 02:56:25.380
If we remember those good performances and play today, we will be able to talk about it.

02:56:41.380 --> 02:56:43.700
That for the interview. Thank you so much. Fighting.

02:56:43.700 --> 02:56:44.660
Thank you. Fighting.

02:56:46.340 --> 02:56:50.420
Someone always so energetic to chat with as we take a look at the gameplay.

02:56:50.420 --> 02:56:53.620
It could be a showdown on the tank line to look at.

02:56:53.620 --> 02:56:58.500
Unfortunately for the Falcons, Gushway Squad came out on top of that best of three.

02:56:58.500 --> 02:57:01.220
So Johnny, taking a look at the fight today.

02:57:01.220 --> 02:57:03.780
What do they need to do differently if you're a Falcons fan?

02:57:03.780 --> 02:57:05.380
I mean, they're going to stick with their style.

02:57:05.380 --> 02:57:07.380
I think they've been pretty one-dimensional so far.

02:57:07.380 --> 02:57:09.940
Honestly, playing the Symmetra look, you're really slowing things down.

02:57:09.940 --> 02:57:15.420
Someone spent a lot of time on the Sigma so far and I should think T1 are quite happy to match into this

02:57:15.420 --> 02:57:20.900
Merit is back into the lineup after injury and he needs to be guns-abasing this guy is capable of taking the games over

02:57:21.020 --> 02:57:25.780
But this is going to be a very difficult match for Falcons even though they are the reigning e-sports World Cup champions

02:57:25.780 --> 02:57:28.180
I'm not necessarily sure they are favored in this one

02:57:28.180 --> 02:57:34.500
So the fans have chosen the Falcons in this fight 72% are going with green 28%

02:57:34.980 --> 02:57:37.860
Are siding with T1? How do you see it playing out?

02:57:37.860 --> 02:57:41.180
I mean the fans have been trippin a little bit this event so far

02:57:41.180 --> 02:57:44.080
I'm gonna be honest with you like no shade but no

02:57:44.080 --> 02:57:49.240
I think I think this could be potentially a very very close match for sure because the history between those players

02:57:49.240 --> 02:57:54.900
It is a different Falcons with Merritt in the lineup, which he wasn't with them really for the rest of the stage

02:57:54.900 --> 02:57:56.820
Hence Falcons really on the perform

02:57:56.820 --> 02:58:01.100
So they might look a lot stronger than what we saw in regular season. So what are you calling?

02:58:01.100 --> 02:58:03.100
T1 or Falcons?

02:58:03.100 --> 02:58:05.100
My heart says T1.

02:58:05.100 --> 02:58:07.100
T1, Johnny? Our heart says T1 too.

02:58:07.100 --> 02:58:08.100
Can't predict the heart.

02:58:08.100 --> 02:58:10.100
My heart says Falcons.

02:58:10.100 --> 02:58:12.100
We're moving on to the playoff bracket.

02:58:12.100 --> 02:58:15.100
We'll find out whose heart is beating the right way.

02:58:15.100 --> 02:58:17.100
Your heart's dead.

02:58:17.100 --> 02:58:19.100
Whoa!

02:58:31.100 --> 02:58:49.580
It's time to remove the safety net here at the SC Serena in Paris.

02:58:49.580 --> 02:58:53.260
We've seen our upper bracket group matches completed.

02:58:53.260 --> 02:58:58.860
We've got our four elite competitors locked in to our quarterfinals.

02:58:58.860 --> 02:59:03.140
more playoff spots are up for grabs the question is who's going to step up and

02:59:03.140 --> 02:59:08.700
take them. For the rest of the day it is dead simple win and you're in play-offs

02:59:08.700 --> 02:59:13.100
but if you lose not only are you out of the tournament get directly back to the

02:59:13.100 --> 02:59:18.560
airport and get to see Yogi crushed on stage in front of everyone. Lovely. The

02:59:18.560 --> 02:59:23.740
highest of stakes normally leads to the highest of entertainment so let's bring

02:59:23.740 --> 02:59:28.300
out our next team, starting with the title defenders.

02:59:28.300 --> 02:59:32.260
Team Falcans!

02:59:38.260 --> 02:59:44.060
One year ago, it's the team that lifted this trophy and stood at the top of the competition.

02:59:44.060 --> 02:59:47.540
What followed was not the rain that many expected.

02:59:47.540 --> 02:59:53.580
Fourth at the World Finals, domestic setbacks, an early career stage two exit that left the

02:59:53.580 --> 02:59:58.980
defending champs outside the normal qualification places. They arrived through

02:59:58.980 --> 03:00:03.460
the place that reserved for the holders. We know that they are starting to get

03:00:03.460 --> 03:00:08.300
back to business. Can they continue here at the Esports World Cup?

03:00:08.300 --> 03:00:16.820
But Ian, if you say Esports, there's one name that comes in mind and that name is T1!

03:00:23.580 --> 03:00:25.640
you

03:00:53.580 --> 03:00:55.640
you

03:01:23.580 --> 03:01:25.640
you

03:01:53.580 --> 03:01:55.640
you

03:02:23.580 --> 03:02:25.640
you

03:02:53.580 --> 03:02:55.640
you

03:03:23.580 --> 03:03:52.940
It's so hard to say, because we've seen so many different sides of Alcans, I think it's

03:03:52.940 --> 03:03:56.980
matchups of T1 since again

03:03:56.980 --> 03:03:58.980
merit was absent from those. I

03:03:58.980 --> 03:04:00.980
think this has the potential to

03:04:00.980 --> 03:04:02.980
go to a free map series, and I

03:04:02.980 --> 03:04:04.980
think if it does, it goes to T1

03:04:04.980 --> 03:04:06.980
just because Vulcans have not

03:04:06.980 --> 03:04:08.980
been able to close out these

03:04:08.980 --> 03:04:11.980
first two series. Yeah, still a

03:04:11.980 --> 03:04:14.980
brutal format in this first two.

03:04:14.980 --> 03:04:16.980
I did speak to Swingship

03:04:16.980 --> 03:04:18.980
beforehand in series. How you

03:04:18.980 --> 03:04:21.820
a team. The team who is

03:04:21.920 --> 03:04:24.460
going to play the championship

03:04:24.560 --> 03:04:25.780
beforehand in series, You know

03:04:25.880 --> 03:04:29.820
how you feeling? How's the

03:04:29.920 --> 03:04:30.860
team vibe going? She said,

03:04:30.960 --> 03:04:32.720
Well, we are quite nervous.

03:04:32.820 --> 03:04:34.620
Me as in the GM. The players

03:04:34.720 --> 03:04:36.460
know kind of calling God.

03:04:36.560 --> 03:04:37.880
They're ready for this. T One

03:04:37.980 --> 03:04:38.880
fans in the audience. Of course,

03:04:38.980 --> 03:04:40.060
going to come out in storm. But

03:04:40.160 --> 03:04:41.880
same with the Falcons, to be

03:04:41.980 --> 03:04:42.960
fair, there's so much

03:04:43.060 --> 03:04:44.960
expectation of riding on team

03:04:45.060 --> 03:04:46.960
Falcon shoulders here. Those two

03:04:46.960 --> 03:04:48.960
Gates unlocking just a moment.

03:04:48.960 --> 03:04:50.960
Don't lock in the raft.

03:04:50.960 --> 03:04:51.960
Someone's going to do the same.

03:04:51.960 --> 03:04:52.960
Yeah, but look.

03:04:52.960 --> 03:04:54.960
Fasting cap from T1.

03:04:54.960 --> 03:04:57.960
Vulcans actually running spin in the mix.

03:04:57.960 --> 03:04:58.960
No checkmate.

03:04:58.960 --> 03:05:00.960
So you have the soldier, but you can keep the Cassidy.

03:05:00.960 --> 03:05:04.960
To be able to keep a check of those players up in the sky.

03:05:06.960 --> 03:05:09.960
It's a perfect place for Vulcans to play off of as well.

03:05:09.960 --> 03:05:12.960
Because Zest, you have to put it in such an awkward spot,

03:05:12.960 --> 03:05:14.960
swinging around like this.

03:05:14.960 --> 03:05:19.200
very open. Looks like spin's gonna take the majority of the damage first up as

03:05:19.200 --> 03:05:22.460
death is gonna dangled in front of the shield but someone place it very

03:05:22.460 --> 03:05:26.560
defensively on top of spin so you can dance around avoid fashion fire.

03:05:26.560 --> 03:05:33.920
That's right taking a lot of damage at this blister so that's not getting in position to be able to just hammer in the damage to stop

03:05:33.920 --> 03:05:38.240
Balkans from just stepping onto the point already picking up cap. No point just yet

03:05:38.240 --> 03:05:41.560
but now Balkans can just play avoidance.

03:05:41.560 --> 03:05:45.840
It takes a little kunai there, now Proud trying to crush the point, taking too much damage from the sidelines though.

03:05:45.840 --> 03:05:51.040
Donkhaak tries to make his move, merits, lights punched out, he's gonna follow up with a kill, maybe onto Kiel.

03:05:51.040 --> 03:05:54.400
They're right up grabbing that mega health back, but it's someone that actually fights back.

03:05:54.400 --> 03:06:00.040
Zest, Donkhaak now down, seeing Falcon still in control of this point and someone, yeah, easy clean up on Proud.

03:06:00.040 --> 03:06:03.760
Spick just walks on, point takes this one, and they secure still.

03:06:03.760 --> 03:06:12.160
Still, not yet with that rush, but Skewed also not in position to allow T1 to surge forward.

03:06:12.160 --> 03:06:18.200
Pride actually swaps onto the Soju now to be able to try to map Wits with the poke that Merit and Spink can view,

03:06:18.200 --> 03:06:23.080
try to split their attention by a little bit of safety possessed and blitzed to work with,

03:06:23.080 --> 03:06:28.400
since T1 will be relying on that Bastion Cat and a rush to walk onto this point.

03:06:28.400 --> 03:06:41.640
Yeah, that rush on the point and then says, just find a creeping over. Luckily, Merit was

03:06:41.640 --> 03:06:46.080
able to survive for a little bit, but eventually picked up by Skewed. Good first cap, I gotta

03:06:46.080 --> 03:06:49.240
say though, 63% plus you saved your own rush.

03:06:49.240 --> 03:06:52.800
Yeah, and Polkens, like you said, they've got their own rush, they're also about to

03:06:52.800 --> 03:06:58.800
hit a treasure trove of ultimates, as we'll have a look from Pride's perspective, 31 HP,

03:06:58.800 --> 03:07:04.800
she was able to find that shot off onto Chiyo, but for T1 this is all about how well you can

03:07:04.800 --> 03:07:09.600
hold the stage, you know that Kieler wants to move 15 forward. Okay, proud instantly going down,

03:07:10.240 --> 03:07:15.040
the spit now high in the sky, and yeah, don't have, there's just no chance you survive there,

03:07:15.040 --> 03:07:20.480
unless you go for a TP and a Zuzu, but it's just not going to come in, you're isolated,

03:07:20.480 --> 03:07:22.720
You've already lost one. There's no point trying to hold on.

03:07:22.720 --> 03:07:24.160
No stall as well.

03:07:24.160 --> 03:07:27.680
Feel the committer rush that Falkens can just win the fight outright.

03:07:27.680 --> 03:07:31.520
Nice, clean and fast, so only 27% fits up.

03:07:31.520 --> 03:07:33.520
31. No rush.

03:07:34.400 --> 03:07:37.520
No bashing cap. Flyby to open up their space,

03:07:37.520 --> 03:07:40.480
which means that Falkens, they can just hold their ground at the other block.

03:07:40.480 --> 03:07:41.920
There it's got the opening.

03:07:41.920 --> 03:07:46.240
He's going to get kidnapped here, but still managing to get a little bit of damage off,

03:07:46.240 --> 03:07:48.640
assisting someone in this annihilation.

03:07:48.640 --> 03:07:51.840
Proud Scoot, dead, team Falcon set to win.

03:07:51.840 --> 03:07:54.040
Donghack is waiting in the wings.

03:07:54.040 --> 03:07:56.740
But how sneaky can you be on this ram?

03:07:56.740 --> 03:07:59.740
He's got some sustainability with this annihilation, sure.

03:07:59.740 --> 03:08:03.540
But getting on here and sticking on here is just going to be such a nightmare.

03:08:03.540 --> 03:08:05.240
That's on the tracer as well.

03:08:05.240 --> 03:08:08.040
Just put T1 to have someone to be able to separate from the fight.

03:08:08.040 --> 03:08:08.840
Look for the fight.

03:08:08.840 --> 03:08:10.440
Tien won't be won by Tio, though.

03:08:10.440 --> 03:08:11.740
Mild already down.

03:08:11.740 --> 03:08:13.540
Builder, that's a nice gunai headshot.

03:08:13.540 --> 03:08:15.240
And yes, Donghack's looking around.

03:08:15.240 --> 03:08:17.540
We're wondering where the rest of his team went.

03:08:17.540 --> 03:08:20.740
Annihilation is going to get popped, but you have to get back to the points.

03:08:20.740 --> 03:08:22.180
Too little, too late.

03:08:22.180 --> 03:08:24.380
Team Falcons for the first round.

03:08:24.380 --> 03:08:26.900
Yeah, I was a little unsure.

03:08:26.900 --> 03:08:28.180
I will not lie.

03:08:28.180 --> 03:08:32.540
When I saw that ram picked on the side of T1,

03:08:32.540 --> 03:08:36.420
because it's not a look we've seen from them that often,

03:08:36.420 --> 03:08:40.660
and it's not something that they really feel comfortable using,

03:08:40.660 --> 03:08:43.380
I'll be honest, when we're looking at that performance.

03:08:43.380 --> 03:08:47.300
Annihilation held the whole time.

03:08:47.300 --> 03:08:53.540
essentially until that very last fight, we're also getting to see that this map volcanoes

03:08:53.540 --> 03:08:58.420
the way that falcons could just position having won the first fight without having to worry about

03:08:58.420 --> 03:09:04.340
a basting cat flying by on their flank to create space for t1 to be able to surge forward onto that

03:09:04.340 --> 03:09:10.100
point does a whole lot of just shutting down a lot of that retake potential that they'll have here

03:09:10.100 --> 03:09:14.660
at least as we head to a more open map of beach. Yeah, don't have to say, you know what, now there's

03:09:14.660 --> 03:09:16.420
That's not for me on this round.

03:09:16.420 --> 03:09:17.940
Why can this M-Ray pick my Brawl though?

03:09:17.940 --> 03:09:19.940
A little bit of extra pressure on Shio.

03:09:21.300 --> 03:09:22.980
Well, Cat versus Cat.

03:09:22.980 --> 03:09:23.740
Gotta hit the shot first.

03:09:23.740 --> 03:09:27.300
At this point, Blitz and Shio are both splitting away.

03:09:27.300 --> 03:09:29.020
Tranks just choked the other time.

03:09:29.020 --> 03:09:31.340
Yeah, speaking of that pressure, there is Brawl.

03:09:31.340 --> 03:09:32.380
Shoot Shio a couple of times.

03:09:32.380 --> 03:09:34.500
Nice little shield though from someone.

03:09:34.500 --> 03:09:36.620
It's been very selfless right now with the shield,

03:09:36.620 --> 03:09:40.660
making sure he supports the DPS and making the most of them.

03:09:40.660 --> 03:09:44.180
It's just being forced off of that off angle by Chiru again.

03:09:44.740 --> 03:09:47.780
Proves more than happy to just like find the one you want.

03:09:47.780 --> 03:09:53.060
Uh, at Hearts, I still run down on to Spinpo, Donghae, Pops.

03:09:53.060 --> 03:09:56.100
The, well, Pops every goon and almost there, just to get on top of it.

03:09:56.100 --> 03:09:57.780
Speaking of which, and another storm.

03:09:57.780 --> 03:09:59.300
What a good couple of pick offs.

03:09:59.300 --> 03:10:03.140
Team Falcon's DPS just left on an island to them for themselves.

03:10:03.700 --> 03:10:06.020
Spin actually goes to the Tracer.

03:10:06.020 --> 03:10:10.180
He's just identified that T1 are wanting to play very stacked,

03:10:10.180 --> 03:10:16.660
being able to engage off of donghax slams and if spin can find that in versus skew no

03:10:16.660 --> 03:10:22.500
Cassidy to be able to try to peel for the Kiriko catching out that support could be crucial for

03:10:22.500 --> 03:10:27.620
Vulcans to be able to stop leading sustain. Already so low, Tassuthi was forced super early,

03:10:27.620 --> 03:10:31.540
he's been still forced to recall though back onto the point that met with Zest.

03:10:32.180 --> 03:10:35.300
That's taken a little bit too much damage though, he's going to have to rave walking just a moment,

03:10:35.300 --> 03:10:40.100
the brown triple headshot there onto spin takes him out and now it's seen Falcons there kind of

03:10:40.100 --> 03:10:45.100
the crumbling, proud, low to high, gets a couple, and that should be fight over with.

03:10:45.100 --> 03:10:49.500
Vulcans are trying to do everything that they can to get this tracer on top of skew, but

03:10:49.500 --> 03:10:54.980
he just sues his teleports, prides able to find the picks, and don't act on Mauga, so

03:10:54.980 --> 03:10:58.540
even with the Kirikou split away from the tank, you still have the sustain. Speaking

03:10:58.540 --> 03:11:03.620
about on the Mauga, he's currently attached to Blitz, playing above so that Merrick gets

03:11:03.620 --> 03:11:08.700
no opening shots to farm Rail until you won't have to worry about swinging too far into

03:11:08.700 --> 03:11:14.940
fully charged up sojourn. Oh well, yikes, alright, okay, no worries. Team Falcon, do you find a pick

03:11:14.940 --> 03:11:18.620
or you hit the reset button? Looks like it's gonna be a reset at least for someone. There's the

03:11:18.620 --> 03:11:22.300
stop, there's the start, they have the name too. Yeah, there's no chance someone gets out of that

03:11:22.300 --> 03:11:26.460
alive. He hasn't got a dash, he hasn't got a jump, he hasn't got any. This is brutal. Donhack's playing

03:11:26.460 --> 03:11:32.060
on Falcon's side of the map, by the way. Zest pride running at someone from one side, forcing out

03:11:32.060 --> 03:11:36.460
that Nemesis form for the block, but that only is for with racing, which means that Donhack's

03:11:36.460 --> 03:11:38.460
It's getting the full damage behind.

03:11:38.460 --> 03:11:42.220
Vulcans looking light-less in this map so far.

03:11:42.220 --> 03:11:44.980
They'll have five ultimates coming up for this one fight,

03:11:44.980 --> 03:11:47.460
but if they have to burn the whole stock,

03:11:47.460 --> 03:11:49.340
what are the chances that they win the fight after?

03:11:49.340 --> 03:11:52.300
Oh, well, Mary's in the sky, and he's got an OC.

03:11:52.300 --> 03:11:54.940
There it is, gonna get Rift really early on,

03:11:54.940 --> 03:11:56.380
and he can't really get too much damage down.

03:11:56.380 --> 03:11:59.860
Everybody from T1 are giving him the respect that he deserves.

03:11:59.860 --> 03:12:01.380
Proud now, up into the sky.

03:12:01.380 --> 03:12:03.900
I can do that solo though with that living weapon,

03:12:03.900 --> 03:12:05.700
and actually mentioned as a snipe builder,

03:12:05.700 --> 03:12:10.620
A quick kidnap onto someone, but the annihilation is just not gonna help him kill Donghae.

03:12:10.620 --> 03:12:12.720
There's too many players looking at someone.

03:12:12.720 --> 03:12:16.980
Team Falcons, dump their old bank, and team one just stabbed up.

03:12:16.980 --> 03:12:19.220
That's a hundred to zero the second round.

03:12:19.220 --> 03:12:22.820
Someone gets put in timeout corner.

03:12:22.820 --> 03:12:28.480
That was Malga Cage to totally take away any space from annihilation.

03:12:28.480 --> 03:12:35.400
Catnap on top as well, by the way, just to make sure that someone has no opportunity of playing the game.

03:12:35.400 --> 03:12:41.720
adds all of that Malva swap. We talked about it, right? T1, they've been looking so clean with the Malva.

03:12:41.720 --> 03:12:45.640
Now you start thinking, what if they started on the Magra and Volcano in the first place?

03:12:47.160 --> 03:12:51.480
Yeah, look at that. And then Zest is just behind him, just Bump, Bump, Bump.

03:12:51.480 --> 03:12:55.640
The Reaper guy is a pretty simple guy. You get close to an issue.

03:12:55.640 --> 03:12:58.520
Yeah, sometimes you don't actually need to be all that close.

03:12:58.520 --> 03:13:00.360
True, higher triggers go.

03:13:01.480 --> 03:13:05.320
Yeah, those shotguns, surprising amounts of range attached to them.

03:13:05.400 --> 03:13:11.960
as T1's. If it ain't broke, don't swap it. Same composition as up to Vulcans to bind an

03:13:11.960 --> 03:13:16.480
in, and now you think they'll be able to do it off of far-range pressure flybys from

03:13:16.480 --> 03:13:21.240
the Kat Vastian? And putting spin, opposite ratio onto the Weeper still trying to find

03:13:21.240 --> 03:13:22.240
that pressure on to skewed.

03:13:22.240 --> 03:13:31.360
They could be apprehensive to push in here at T1. But of course, spin didn't hit that

03:13:31.360 --> 03:13:36.560
shift first it'll rate what? Same with the Zestler. Alright here comes the swing in from Merit

03:13:37.280 --> 03:13:42.400
and now they try and make the move. Since this turret form is out of there, it should be good to

03:13:42.400 --> 03:13:46.480
move up. They're on the point now. Don't have to take so much damage though. Look at this off angle

03:13:46.480 --> 03:13:51.760
from Team Falcons currently. Speaking of dire triggers, there you go. Spin fixer up a kill on

03:13:51.760 --> 03:13:57.360
the Donhack. They're breaking slice, fight for Team Falcons. Only using Killer. Yeah just

03:13:57.360 --> 03:14:04.040
Contorting so much damage onto Don't have that skewed blisters. Don't get the opportunity to be able to kill them up and

03:14:04.160 --> 03:14:09.760
Prior to swaps onto the bastions be able to match wits with Merrick fly by for both of these teams

03:14:10.080 --> 03:14:12.720
To one relying yet again on that same

03:14:13.240 --> 03:14:21.360
Bastion lifeline swing so that Vulcans don't get the chance of simply taking don't have down before you can close up the distance. Oh

03:14:22.120 --> 03:14:24.120
Okay

03:14:24.120 --> 03:14:26.120
Swing it in, swing it in.

03:14:26.120 --> 03:14:28.120
All good, this is already in there.

03:14:28.120 --> 03:14:30.120
Whoa, Fielded just goes down. Okay.

03:14:30.120 --> 03:14:32.120
Longhatch is up in their face.

03:14:32.120 --> 03:14:36.120
That was a very quick rotation there from T1.

03:14:36.120 --> 03:14:38.120
You can't be tying like that if you're Fielded first.

03:14:38.120 --> 03:14:43.120
I'm curious if that was just an explosion of damage and quick burst?

03:14:43.120 --> 03:14:47.120
Yeah, I mean he has to have been stunned right by the Magus land.

03:14:47.120 --> 03:14:52.120
But then being caught up by the Magus land, when TP surely was active.

03:14:52.120 --> 03:15:00.760
That's it. Reavus misplay from Vulcans, which allows T1 full control of the space, Bastion Burst and Bastion Flyby.

03:15:00.760 --> 03:15:05.480
Try not to find that angle, but keep your eye on where Donhack shows up.

03:15:05.480 --> 03:15:10.120
I feel like there should be a workshop code, just permanently being dangled in the Bastion. It's got to be at some point.

03:15:10.120 --> 03:15:15.640
We've got TXTXX, we need a Bastion version. Nice deathboss mode from Spitz.

03:15:15.640 --> 03:15:21.000
She had to get their kidnapped kill onto Donhack. However, Spitz is playing on Team Falcon's Rush right now.

03:15:21.000 --> 03:15:24.760
It's kind of coaxing them in. Zest is gonna hit his deathblossom who's down.

03:15:24.760 --> 03:15:27.160
He'll fill up his fence right behind him.

03:15:27.160 --> 03:15:30.200
Good clean up from the Reaper as Team Falcons get a flick.

03:15:30.200 --> 03:15:34.440
Yeah, that's spicy actually that Falcons one side of Rush and Deathblossom.

03:15:35.240 --> 03:15:36.600
Invested from Zest.

03:15:36.600 --> 03:15:37.400
Caribless.

03:15:37.400 --> 03:15:39.960
Now, let's default someone out of position.

03:15:39.960 --> 03:15:41.480
Completely, LOSing his team as well.

03:15:41.480 --> 03:15:42.600
Has to pop the annihilation.

03:15:42.600 --> 03:15:43.480
Oh, crowd-tracking!

03:15:43.480 --> 03:15:45.800
They jump away with a puppy-type barrage.

03:15:45.800 --> 03:15:49.240
After that ravenous vortex connected with his feet,

03:15:49.240 --> 03:15:53.880
Braav gets destroyed there as team falcons end up taking that fight.

03:15:53.880 --> 03:15:56.920
Yeah, Greg coordination, Donghaek used them out of the cage.

03:15:56.920 --> 03:16:01.160
Once someone was pulled out of position and bolted, had to just try to

03:16:01.160 --> 03:16:04.200
maneuver closer to that romantic to keep them up.

03:16:04.200 --> 03:16:07.400
Taking pride, damn, means a close fight can't go on through.

03:16:07.400 --> 03:16:12.360
Q1 now left only with the bastion ult and sweating body, and Meron falls.

03:16:12.360 --> 03:16:17.480
Yep, and now Braav just popped the ult with immunity.

03:16:17.480 --> 03:16:18.360
A bit of damage.

03:16:18.360 --> 03:16:21.160
I'm a quite someone kind of dodging into the shield for that one.

03:16:21.160 --> 03:16:23.000
There's the cardiac overdrive, a long hangout,

03:16:23.000 --> 03:16:24.920
Chiyo getting in his face, he's getting a little bit too low,

03:16:24.920 --> 03:16:25.960
has to dash away.

03:16:25.960 --> 03:16:27.960
There's a catnap coming up, he's just a moment from Chiyo,

03:16:27.960 --> 03:16:31.080
only 20%, however, the focus right now is on someone.

03:16:31.080 --> 03:16:33.400
Liss takes that, him down, but Team Falcons,

03:16:33.400 --> 03:16:36.760
they are still on the point, just looking to get OT at this point.

03:16:36.760 --> 03:16:39.240
Spin, Deathmosser, can be used now, maybe.

03:16:39.240 --> 03:16:42.200
I mean, look, already, Zest is used as shift.

03:16:42.200 --> 03:16:43.720
Manchester's gonna take me away.

03:16:43.720 --> 03:16:45.560
What an outplay from Zest!

03:16:45.560 --> 03:16:54.700
Insane mind games from Zest, spent before he had that one in the bag after he's able

03:16:54.700 --> 03:17:00.200
to foresight that ray form, but great teleport, keeps him up, takes him out of the range of

03:17:00.200 --> 03:17:03.560
death blossom, lets him find the kill too.

03:17:03.560 --> 03:17:07.840
Vulcans, if they've been able to keep that Reaper up, probably seal out the fight there

03:17:07.840 --> 03:17:12.040
and then, she won't get one more chance to be able to hold that ground.

03:17:12.040 --> 03:17:16.040
Rush vs Rush, and at the moment trying to shut someone down as well.

03:17:16.040 --> 03:17:21.040
Looking at these bats at the moment though, both Shio and Bliss have the ult.

03:17:21.040 --> 03:17:24.040
They're going to swing, crowd in, oh but Mary actually ends up going down first.

03:17:24.040 --> 03:17:28.040
Gnap Gnap, Shio trying to grab somebody and now looking at the back of Donghae.

03:17:28.040 --> 03:17:30.040
That movement speeds to go over towards someone to get the heal up.

03:17:30.040 --> 03:17:35.040
There is the catnap from Bliss, and now someone is in dire need of help.

03:17:35.040 --> 03:17:38.040
T1 forcing Falcon to reset for this final fight.

03:17:38.040 --> 03:17:46.040
This is huge. If they can find one more pick up onto Vulcans, but they don't want to overextend in case they get quit early.

03:17:46.040 --> 03:17:56.040
Merit with the artillery strike trying to clear the space for Vulcans to walk up. We'll go to a 99-99% fight, rush versus rush, but T1 have more ults for the follow through.

03:17:56.040 --> 03:18:03.040
Yes, waiting in the wings too, joining the front line now, there's the start, no stun, sorry there's the stop.

03:18:03.040 --> 03:18:09.040
As they're still with the ult, Cage gets popped as well, it's just a disaster though, he only ends up killing spit.

03:18:09.040 --> 03:18:12.040
Someone is just absorbing all that damage with the annihilation.

03:18:12.040 --> 03:18:19.040
Longhack now moving forward, artillery barrage here from Proud, Longhack's already got a couple of his now, only someone on the point to try and stay alive for the rest of the team.

03:18:19.040 --> 03:18:22.840
the team, Gio joins him, gets a couple of heals off his proud end of going down. This

03:18:22.840 --> 03:18:26.040
nemesis one was only going to last so long though, he's gone, had a go for another stop.

03:18:26.040 --> 03:18:32.520
Great, straight on top of someone. Eliminating from the map. And that will be T1. Claiming

03:18:32.520 --> 03:18:33.520
the first.

03:18:33.520 --> 03:18:39.840
I feel a Malga fan coming on.

03:18:39.840 --> 03:18:48.840
Map two. Surely you have to remove that Malga from play. Cat was a problem too, to be honest.

03:18:48.840 --> 03:18:56.520
So many good catnaps, just finding that attachment onto someone, grabbing him out of position,

03:18:56.520 --> 03:19:01.640
making sure as well, there's always one person from T1 in front of the ramp to force them

03:19:01.640 --> 03:19:07.560
to have to hold up the block, and multiple players behind him to make sure they can get

03:19:07.560 --> 03:19:10.520
the damage past the damage reduction.

03:19:10.520 --> 03:19:16.160
Brilliant, brilliant plays from T1 to be able to keep Hawkins in check.

03:19:16.160 --> 03:19:26.960
Look at this. 19 HP. TP's away. And that is just dirty. T1 off to an early lead here,

03:19:26.960 --> 03:19:32.880
returning champions in Falcons. They might end up going down. First to two, key crush

03:19:32.880 --> 03:19:38.960
on the line in this series with a playoff spot for the victor. Someone's face there.

03:19:38.960 --> 03:19:45.160
You can see how much obviously it means to him. Almost rolling his eyes there too, like

03:19:45.160 --> 03:19:50.880
we could have done so much more. T1 backroom staff too, as yet Poco is also going to be

03:19:50.880 --> 03:19:54.820
pretty happy. It's that last rush fight as well, there's

03:19:54.820 --> 03:20:02.300
so much like min-maxing that Dong hack is able to get done, even though the annihilation

03:20:02.300 --> 03:20:08.620
is on Falcon's side. We've got Lou down on this stage with Trav

03:20:08.620 --> 03:20:14.260
to give us an update on the championship points. Thanks to our lovely casters, I am

03:20:14.260 --> 03:20:20.660
I'm very glad to welcome Trav, our lovely club championship reporter at Stage 4 here at the STC Arena.

03:20:20.660 --> 03:20:24.660
Trav, how has it been looking on Stage 4? Which games have you had? Tell me about it.

03:20:24.660 --> 03:20:30.060
Yes, so we've mainly kind of focusing on the fighting game strategy games so far with that Fatal Fury.

03:20:30.060 --> 03:20:34.860
Street Fighter going on at the moment as well, so it's kind of the 1v1 games that we're having over there.

03:20:34.860 --> 03:20:38.660
And to be honest, it's not been the best for the higher-up clubs.

03:20:38.660 --> 03:20:43.260
We've had Navi who have been thriving, they did really well in Fatal Fury taking the win in the first week

03:20:43.260 --> 03:20:48.260
in the second week managed to get second in MWI as well, which is the MLBB Women's International.

03:20:48.260 --> 03:20:52.260
So, yeah, it's Navi who have been thriving on our stage for the most part.

03:20:52.260 --> 03:20:56.260
Sounds crispy. Could it be an outsider's EWC? I'm pretty curious.

03:20:56.260 --> 03:21:00.260
The first question. For the championship club, how is it going on stage 4?

03:21:00.260 --> 03:21:03.260
On our side, we are mainly on strategy games, V1 games.

03:21:03.260 --> 03:21:05.260
We have Street Fighter, Fatal Fury, etc.

03:21:05.260 --> 03:21:08.260
On our side, it's Navi who shines at the moment.

03:21:08.260 --> 03:21:11.260
But here we are in our home, Ian and I.

03:21:11.260 --> 03:21:14.340
You know, we lived there at stage one, STC Arena,

03:21:14.340 --> 03:21:15.540
and currently it's Overwatch.

03:21:15.540 --> 03:21:18.140
So could you tell me to which clubs it matters

03:21:18.140 --> 03:21:19.860
getting those points on Overwatch?

03:21:19.860 --> 03:21:20.900
Yeah, so at the moment,

03:21:20.900 --> 03:21:22.620
it's Team Falcon's kind of left wanting

03:21:22.620 --> 03:21:24.180
when it comes to club championship points.

03:21:24.180 --> 03:21:27.380
Obviously the reigning champions of 24 and 25

03:21:27.380 --> 03:21:29.300
really need to get a win on the board at the moment

03:21:29.300 --> 03:21:31.460
for the 1,000 points, but not only because of that,

03:21:31.460 --> 03:21:33.580
they've got so many teams across the board,

03:21:33.580 --> 03:21:34.980
but you still need that win

03:21:34.980 --> 03:21:37.140
to be able to take the crown in the club championship.

03:21:37.140 --> 03:21:38.180
You know, it kind of goes to the same

03:21:38.180 --> 03:21:40.060
for Twisted Minds still wanting some points,

03:21:40.060 --> 03:21:46.540
VPC sitting second at the moment in the club championship lead of all as well as another one that would greatly benefit from a big win in overwars

03:21:46.540 --> 03:21:52.020
So Saudi oryx on on overwatch and also of course VP T1 etc

03:21:52.020 --> 03:21:59.960
So the question is on overwatch which club we need from these points to get a little bit of Gucci, let's just say Falcons

03:21:59.960 --> 03:22:08.060
First of all, Twisted Mind also has a lot of clubs but for them these points could clearly make the difference between Averkus pro and T1

03:22:08.060 --> 03:22:12.820
And last but not least the most important because this could start by a winner Falcons

03:22:12.940 --> 03:22:15.500
You more of a T1 boy or a Falcons boy?

03:22:15.620 --> 03:22:22.460
Listen Falcons might be down, but I'm going Falcons all the way going Falcons on the way and of course is pleasing the crowd

03:22:22.460 --> 03:22:26.900
Thank you very much for joining me. Thank you. Bokwin. Let's get back to our game. See you

03:22:29.180 --> 03:22:35.180
Knowing that you were one of the reasons why they took home the trophy last year in the club championship

03:22:35.180 --> 03:22:42.020
It's got to be on their minds at almost every single stage of this tournament here in the mid-season.

03:22:42.020 --> 03:22:44.140
Team Falcon's now down a map.

03:22:44.140 --> 03:22:51.420
T1, they need one more to crush their key and lock themselves with a spot in the playoffs.

03:22:51.420 --> 03:22:55.920
If you're Falcon's, how do you try to bounce back?

03:22:55.920 --> 03:23:00.540
It's what surely, surely this is the ban on the Mauga.

03:23:00.540 --> 03:23:08.460
As we'll see, checkmate, replacing Spint, Merit remaining that staple DPS player.

03:23:08.460 --> 03:23:15.660
Naidaki has been able to return to the fold, but yeah, if you're falconed, it's a top one because

03:23:15.660 --> 03:23:21.020
that's running through your head. You had the opportunity. The tank ban, the tank roll was

03:23:21.020 --> 03:23:27.340
not saved. That ban could have been yours. You could have gone after that Mauga,

03:23:27.340 --> 03:23:35.100
And you have them over a barrel easily on Volcano. You saw how uncomfortable that

03:23:35.100 --> 03:23:40.700
Dunghack was on that rematch right into the mirror. It all changes when he goes to

03:23:40.700 --> 03:23:45.580
the mag. Like all of those engages, all of our attention, every time that T1

03:23:45.580 --> 03:23:49.260
try to walk back into those fights. We follow the perspective of the Cat Bastion

03:23:49.260 --> 03:23:54.220
because right, that's the opener, right? But you also have to feel what's

03:23:54.220 --> 03:23:56.920
What's Dunghack doing at those points?

03:23:56.920 --> 03:24:01.580
How many people from Balkans are in charge of looking with the Cap Bastion and therefore

03:24:01.580 --> 03:24:07.140
not in position to be able to peel Fielder when the Malga slams forward because it feels

03:24:07.140 --> 03:24:11.980
multiple times that they just got caught out of position by a Malga running directly at

03:24:11.980 --> 03:24:12.980
them.

03:24:12.980 --> 03:24:16.340
I think bigger picture too here as well with team Falcons.

03:24:16.340 --> 03:24:20.140
They're not exactly the same team that ended up winning last year either.

03:24:20.140 --> 03:24:22.260
Of course, proper now on Saita division.

03:24:22.260 --> 03:24:24.580
I think Mitch said it on the cast kind of perfectly.

03:24:24.580 --> 03:24:25.700
You have created this.

03:24:25.700 --> 03:24:28.380
You have created this monster team in Zeta.

03:24:28.380 --> 03:24:30.500
So, you know, Falcon's almost in a way like,

03:24:30.500 --> 03:24:32.420
hey, we've lost one of our star players

03:24:32.420 --> 03:24:33.740
who's now on a different team.

03:24:33.740 --> 03:24:35.020
We want to be able to prove that,

03:24:35.020 --> 03:24:36.420
hey, we can do it without him.

03:24:36.420 --> 03:24:38.220
We can prove it again.

03:24:38.220 --> 03:24:41.380
It's been two years in a row that Falcon's

03:24:41.380 --> 03:24:43.220
have taken home the club championship

03:24:43.220 --> 03:24:45.860
and Team Falcon's as a team as well in Overwatch

03:24:45.860 --> 03:24:49.660
have just been dominant for so damn long.

03:24:49.660 --> 03:24:54.380
Now, what do you think the game plan here is for T1?

03:24:54.380 --> 03:24:57.740
We're going to get the fans and the map selection in just a moment.

03:24:57.740 --> 03:25:01.540
And I said, look, I think Malgen probably is going to get fans here by Falcons.

03:25:01.540 --> 03:25:05.420
But if you're T1, you're banning second, what's the thought process?

03:25:05.980 --> 03:25:07.660
Curico, potentially.

03:25:08.380 --> 03:25:12.940
I think that was one of the more detrimental things for Falcons to have to lose.

03:25:13.340 --> 03:25:15.460
You could potentially go for something like the Sim.

03:25:15.900 --> 03:25:18.900
If it's Neon Junction, for sure, I want to see them remove the Sim.

03:25:19.660 --> 03:25:24.660
But if it's a map like Flashpoint, I would really like to see them try it.

03:25:24.660 --> 03:25:26.660
I'm even more necessary.

03:25:26.660 --> 03:25:29.660
Yeah, not Flashpoint.

03:25:29.660 --> 03:25:34.660
And also, not Neon Junction.

03:25:34.660 --> 03:25:39.660
A map which I feel like Vulcans had so much confidence when we saw them fall down this field.

03:25:39.660 --> 03:25:44.660
It really did look like Neon Junction would be one of their best maps, even though they lost it yesterday

03:25:44.660 --> 03:25:48.660
and probably lost a bit of confidence in how they played it yesterday.

03:25:48.660 --> 03:25:54.160
today. They were still able to

03:25:54.160 --> 03:25:56.160
hold Waibo gaming offer a very

03:25:56.160 --> 03:25:58.160
long time offer things like

03:25:58.160 --> 03:26:00.160
that may since the sin got

03:26:00.160 --> 03:26:02.160
targeted by will tell you what

03:26:02.160 --> 03:26:04.160
it's great on Shambhali

03:26:04.160 --> 03:26:06.160
Monastery. Rematra very, very

03:26:06.160 --> 03:26:08.160
strong. Almost too strong. It

03:26:08.160 --> 03:26:10.160
feels like on this man. This

03:26:10.160 --> 03:26:12.160
man also feels like a little

03:26:12.160 --> 03:26:14.160
bit of a one. That's not a

03:26:14.160 --> 03:26:16.160
I think it's going to be fine.

03:26:16.160 --> 03:26:17.160
Surely.

03:26:17.160 --> 03:26:18.160
Blue list.

03:26:18.160 --> 03:26:19.160
This map feels like a rare one.

03:26:19.160 --> 03:26:22.160
It actually just feels like an ultra-rare trading card or something.

03:26:22.160 --> 03:26:24.160
You're pulling this from the map pool.

03:26:24.160 --> 03:26:26.160
Very rarely through Shambhali Monastery.

03:26:26.160 --> 03:26:29.160
You've seen it a little bit here, obviously, at mid-season,

03:26:29.160 --> 03:26:33.160
but not a map that has been in the pool for quite some time.

03:26:33.160 --> 03:26:35.160
In fact, a lot of the maps in the pool, I feel like,

03:26:35.160 --> 03:26:37.160
would not reared its head.

03:26:37.160 --> 03:26:42.160
And let's quickly talk about what you were just talking and chatting about that way, though.

03:26:42.160 --> 03:26:43.160
That was an upset.

03:26:43.160 --> 03:26:50.440
Yeah, sure, like sure every now and then a Chinese team is going to go all the way with the Korean team, but if you're Falcons

03:26:51.480 --> 03:26:56.620
How what's going through your head when we both eliminate you there and push you down to the lower bracket?

03:26:56.620 --> 03:26:59.940
Because you're not expecting to lose to a Chinese team now not at all

03:27:00.560 --> 03:27:04.380
You've always beaten them. Yeah every time two years

03:27:05.080 --> 03:27:12.360
Two years you've been able to beat label gaming and then they beat you and now you have to come in

03:27:12.360 --> 03:27:18.360
next day, lower bracket run,

03:27:18.360 --> 03:27:20.360
first two format, go down one

03:27:20.360 --> 03:27:26.360
map. Right. Here we go.

03:27:26.360 --> 03:27:30.360
Shambhali Monastery, second map

03:27:30.360 --> 03:27:32.360
pick by Falcons here. Look at

03:27:32.360 --> 03:27:34.360
about the far and then there's a

03:27:34.360 --> 03:27:36.360
diva band on the other side for

03:27:36.360 --> 03:27:38.360
T one. You saw the backroom

03:27:38.360 --> 03:27:40.360
staff of T one a moment ago with

03:27:40.360 --> 03:27:44.160
that they're taking the win. I mentioned before, a couple of them saying to me like how nervous

03:27:44.160 --> 03:27:48.860
they were coming in and you've got to be. I mean, check me, um, Sweet Chips, why would

03:27:48.860 --> 03:27:53.200
check me before? And a lot of the players on the screen right now, like count how many

03:27:53.200 --> 03:27:57.900
Overwatch League players are here. There's a lot. There's so much history and even so

03:27:57.900 --> 03:28:02.120
he was talking about how Don Hac filled a cheer they were previous teammates back in

03:28:02.120 --> 03:28:04.040
the Overwatch League as well.

03:28:04.040 --> 03:28:13.600
Ok T1, Rematra returned for Donhack, looked uncomfortable on the hero on control, potentially

03:28:13.600 --> 03:28:15.280
it's just the map type.

03:28:15.280 --> 03:28:18.960
Now that you get to play the defense, now that you can actually position your shield

03:28:18.960 --> 03:28:25.120
and stay behind it as opposed to being ran away from it the moment that it's downed,

03:28:25.120 --> 03:28:28.720
this can find more value especially since the Zest will be on that cap.

03:28:28.720 --> 03:28:37.200
Bastion they saw what falcons were struggling into they saw how much merit had to do to be able to shut down the cat Bastion yesterday

03:28:37.200 --> 03:28:39.700
And they want to play it themselves

03:28:42.480 --> 03:28:44.480
Yep long range name

03:28:45.240 --> 03:28:48.280
Look at this devious position. Oh, goodbye merit

03:28:49.120 --> 03:28:53.700
Just all on shot. He barely got his mouse like halfway across his mouse mouse before he died

03:28:53.700 --> 03:28:54.700
Yeah.

03:28:54.700 --> 03:28:57.660
You get a little surprise attack from Zest.

03:28:57.660 --> 03:29:01.060
This is really good smart heads up play from T1 as well, right?

03:29:01.060 --> 03:29:04.420
Because they're playing more on the Cat Bastion and not relying on Donhack running directly

03:29:04.420 --> 03:29:08.580
at Vulcans, which was why Chio actually started on that Nuzuki.

03:29:08.580 --> 03:29:10.580
I'm pulling that cringe in my ranked game.

03:29:10.580 --> 03:29:12.580
That's all I'm saying.

03:29:12.580 --> 03:29:14.380
Oh no.

03:29:14.380 --> 03:29:15.380
Check this guys.

03:29:15.380 --> 03:29:21.180
For when the Cat Bastion flies as Vulcans, try to just find some presence on the point

03:29:21.180 --> 03:29:22.180
itself.

03:29:22.180 --> 03:29:30.180
They're fighting so much damage before the fight starts, as T1 they've got Vulcan's role of playing with the Kertbaskin, but they're also shutting down Pyke's rotation with the Freya.

03:29:30.180 --> 03:29:33.180
This TP Jpeg's actually on his own right now and needs to be able to take this.

03:29:33.180 --> 03:29:41.180
They trade Merit for Skewed Shore, but Sessing the frontline is going to be able to chew through someone's health bar, and the rest of his team just kind of dominating the backline.

03:29:41.180 --> 03:29:42.180
Yeah.

03:29:42.180 --> 03:29:44.180
Team Falcon's getting team killed.

03:29:44.180 --> 03:29:47.180
The Vulcan sort of try to ignore the Kertbaskin right?

03:29:47.180 --> 03:29:53.580
Take the fight somewhere where they kept asking, can't comfortably follow, unless that full commit to the drop down.

03:29:53.580 --> 03:29:55.340
And Kethy just gets dropped in the backline.

03:29:55.340 --> 03:30:00.940
And he just gets dropped right behind Falkens, who are still having to deal with Donghaek and proud in front of them.

03:30:00.940 --> 03:30:10.140
Movement has been made, the first time we've got to see the cop fully move as Falkens looks to attack, but T1 is just giving space for Donghaek to hit the backline.

03:30:10.140 --> 03:30:12.940
Donghaek's just walking into the backline alone.

03:30:12.940 --> 03:30:17.820
The bowler as well is just going to connect with practically everybody from Falcons.

03:30:17.820 --> 03:30:21.260
I mean, the bowler with the bastionel.

03:30:21.260 --> 03:30:23.180
Yeah, that's one sweep there.

03:30:23.180 --> 03:30:23.940
Look at this.

03:30:23.940 --> 03:30:24.780
Oh, this is brutal.

03:30:24.780 --> 03:30:26.380
Oh, and that was...

03:30:26.380 --> 03:30:28.940
How many frames was someone not holding the grass there?

03:30:28.940 --> 03:30:29.260
Yeah.

03:30:29.260 --> 03:30:31.180
Perfectly timed by Brown.

03:30:31.180 --> 03:30:34.300
See, this is something that Falcons were actually punished for yes,

03:30:34.300 --> 03:30:35.340
they were just wavering like that.

03:30:35.340 --> 03:30:35.820
Just going to get...

03:30:35.820 --> 03:30:37.740
...per the same thing here, and yeah.

03:30:37.740 --> 03:30:40.460
So that's why we'll just keep doing this, because usually we don't find kills.

03:30:40.460 --> 03:30:41.740
Look how much time it burns.

03:30:41.740 --> 03:30:43.660
Rush though for a field, but someone's already really low.

03:30:43.660 --> 03:30:46.700
Sets it again with another giant blank around the native.

03:30:46.700 --> 03:30:48.860
Five people on Falcons.

03:30:48.860 --> 03:30:51.940
Completely concussed.

03:30:51.940 --> 03:30:53.780
Have two unlosted player.

03:30:53.780 --> 03:30:57.380
I'm pretty sure the defense has been deftless this whole time.

03:30:57.380 --> 03:31:00.980
And we're about to hit the last minute of this map.

03:31:00.980 --> 03:31:04.540
If your Balkans right now, you're panicking.

03:31:04.540 --> 03:31:05.940
OK.

03:31:05.940 --> 03:31:07.460
Everybody calm down.

03:31:07.460 --> 03:31:09.180
We've got Rush.

03:31:09.180 --> 03:31:10.220
We've got Bola.

03:31:10.220 --> 03:31:11.340
We can end it here.

03:31:11.340 --> 03:31:17.700
Falcons on the other hand though, they have got the Symmetra wall and very much a fight winner. Someone's got this high ground

03:31:17.700 --> 03:31:22.640
It's gone low already. He's just instantly destroyed. Tank now down, wall comes out for checkmate

03:31:22.640 --> 03:31:28.300
But in this position, what can you do? Mizuki's sanctuary on the point and they just feed into Donghang

03:31:29.500 --> 03:31:37.340
Looking like prime Mike Tyson out there with the punches he's swinging and Team Falcons only a minute left in the bank

03:31:37.340 --> 03:31:44.060
It's desperation, cheer off of the Mizuki, all invested, Nair has to get merit in position

03:31:44.060 --> 03:31:45.380
but he drops him.

03:31:45.380 --> 03:31:48.740
You can see Vulcans, they're starting to come apart.

03:31:48.740 --> 03:31:53.620
Little mistakes like that show the panic that they're starting to fall free too.

03:31:53.620 --> 03:31:57.140
It all comes down to this one last fight.

03:31:57.140 --> 03:31:59.140
You can't lose this duel in the sky, you just can't.

03:31:59.140 --> 03:32:02.700
Both face going out already and Zess happy to take this duel, goes pretty low, both

03:32:02.700 --> 03:32:09.740
fashions and their prospective cats end up dying away just getting out of dodge. Garage comes in but

03:32:09.740 --> 03:32:13.740
hold on a second someone is really low they have to keep him alive here he's got the flux he's got

03:32:13.740 --> 03:32:18.060
the game and the fight winning ultimate here as they push us forward he's going to pop it in the

03:32:18.060 --> 03:32:22.940
empty 64 hp man should smash out the way but Zest is going to just shoot him out of the sky

03:32:22.940 --> 03:32:28.060
and he's on the high ground too they're at the only one touching right now 14 falcons of Donghae

03:32:28.060 --> 03:32:32.300
Happy to take the 1v1, the cat map.

03:32:32.300 --> 03:32:35.500
That's going to signal the end of the push.

03:32:35.500 --> 03:32:41.820
T1 with a full hold on Shambhali Monastery.

03:32:41.820 --> 03:32:44.780
This is not how Falcons want to go out.

03:32:44.780 --> 03:32:48.620
This, how quick this second map could be.

03:32:48.620 --> 03:32:52.060
This is not the Falcons we're used to.

03:32:52.060 --> 03:32:56.060
You can see there was acceptance as well of that last fight

03:32:56.060 --> 03:33:01.260
when they just try to go to the cart to have any distance that they can

03:33:01.260 --> 03:33:05.820
to get one more fight chance if they lose the Coruscite on defense.

03:33:05.820 --> 03:33:08.860
But this, like this moment here, Webo did the same thing.

03:33:08.860 --> 03:33:11.660
This was something that Vulcans, when they take the TP,

03:33:11.660 --> 03:33:16.220
they instantly take the teleport. There's no dilly-dallying, there's no baiting.

03:33:16.220 --> 03:33:19.740
So everyone knows when they see that Symmetric Teleport come up

03:33:19.740 --> 03:33:24.540
that Vulcans will all come through afterwards to be able to send out things

03:33:24.540 --> 03:33:30.900
like the Freibola shop, and you can see like that reality. The fact that you might be seeing

03:33:30.900 --> 03:33:36.860
your ki crushed after last year, you were the one crushing ki after ki after ki, that's

03:33:36.860 --> 03:33:39.140
starting to set in.

03:33:39.140 --> 03:33:48.500
Zest and Bliss, the perfect Kat Bastion doing zero deaths.

03:33:48.500 --> 03:33:55.340
I should point this out, I did not play Kat Bastion so far this tournament.

03:33:55.340 --> 03:34:00.500
They looked at Balkans history, they saw how hard they struggled into Kat Bastion, they're

03:34:00.500 --> 03:34:05.620
playing it themselves as someone, yeah, it has to be a close-hold.

03:34:05.620 --> 03:34:07.940
We're playing right up to the doors.

03:34:07.940 --> 03:34:09.300
Checkmate's playing the sim too.

03:34:09.300 --> 03:34:12.500
There was a way to get out of this fight if they need to, but this is going to be the

03:34:12.500 --> 03:34:13.500
big problem.

03:34:13.500 --> 03:34:16.500
Zest is just going to hold this high ground.

03:34:16.500 --> 03:34:17.500
I say high ground.

03:34:17.500 --> 03:34:19.920
the top of the sky box and shoot down.

03:34:19.920 --> 03:34:21.340
Merit's already really low.

03:34:21.340 --> 03:34:23.180
Someone, where's your shield at?

03:34:23.180 --> 03:34:24.300
Where is it gone?

03:34:24.300 --> 03:34:26.940
It's already dead, and Merit's gonna follow.

03:34:26.940 --> 03:34:30.340
This close hold is just not it against this Kat Vastion.

03:34:30.340 --> 03:34:31.180
No.

03:34:31.180 --> 03:34:32.660
And time's ticking.

03:34:32.660 --> 03:34:34.100
First fight lost.

03:34:34.100 --> 03:34:35.980
Polkens having the extra distance,

03:34:35.980 --> 03:34:39.380
having lost the third last fight on defense,

03:34:39.380 --> 03:34:41.540
now will come into play because it buys them

03:34:41.540 --> 03:34:43.580
one more chance, one more team fight,

03:34:43.580 --> 03:34:47.140
but they will have no space, no ultimate.

03:34:47.140 --> 03:34:55.440
It all comes down to this one last fight, and Pride's about to hit BOLAR SHOP, but before they can even touch the point they have to get past the cap-astion.

03:34:59.140 --> 03:35:00.640
And they actually get an early kick.

03:35:01.240 --> 03:35:03.740
This Golden Boxer victory is just so damn close.

03:35:04.340 --> 03:35:08.840
Proud is trying his darndest right now to shoot checkmate who's around R-HP currently.

03:35:09.340 --> 03:35:12.440
They've gone this side of the map until you've won you have so much to hide behind.

03:35:12.440 --> 03:35:18.960
Here comes the Mirage from Azest, here comes the Bowler too, and it is absolutely massive!

03:35:18.960 --> 03:35:25.960
Shio just detonates in the front line, and your reigning EWC champions are gonna get crushed!

03:35:25.960 --> 03:35:32.160
T1, they saw above the Valkans to claim their playoff spot!

03:35:32.160 --> 03:35:43.600
First seed coming out of their region. We said keep an eye on this team. They may well

03:35:43.600 --> 03:35:51.440
surprise you and surprise us, surprise Palkens. They certainly did.

03:35:51.440 --> 03:36:01.440
a big, big moment for T1. Last

03:36:01.440 --> 03:36:07.440
time they faced it was a 3-0, a fairly dominant game as well. And you were thinking they could

03:36:07.440 --> 03:36:11.440
just carry that energy on from that playoff seat and decide a match, and it feels like

03:36:11.440 --> 03:36:16.140
they just had their number. I wouldn't say someone's been struggling at all, but he just

03:36:16.140 --> 03:36:18.700
got outplayed by Donghae here.

03:36:18.700 --> 03:36:19.860
That Weibo gaming loss,

03:36:19.860 --> 03:36:23.260
maybe still weighing on team Falcons.

03:36:23.260 --> 03:36:26.700
Team One now, they're crushing their key.

03:36:28.020 --> 03:36:30.780
As we see a team that we expect

03:36:30.780 --> 03:36:33.340
to make it extremely far in the competition,

03:36:33.340 --> 03:36:35.180
get knocked out before playoffs.

03:36:35.180 --> 03:36:39.780
That's precious points too for Kupchanginja, for Falcons.

03:36:39.780 --> 03:36:42.220
They were able to find that title.

03:36:42.220 --> 03:36:44.700
Last time, off of the win for Overwatch,

03:36:44.700 --> 03:36:50.460
You have to have one win for a title to be able to go to that club championship and Falkens

03:36:50.460 --> 03:36:56.740
have now been denied finding it with an overwatch, they'll have to find it somewhere else.

03:36:56.740 --> 03:37:01.980
Let's get a word from Proud down on the stage, joined by Lou.

03:37:01.980 --> 03:37:09.580
It is official guys, the title defenders are out, eliminated by T1, Kaeya, congratulations,

03:37:09.580 --> 03:37:11.460
of course Proud.

03:37:11.460 --> 03:37:16.460
And I imagine this must feel good because historically Falcons have been your nemesis in Korea.

03:37:16.460 --> 03:37:20.460
You were struggling to beat them. Now you've beaten them twice in a row.

03:37:20.460 --> 03:37:24.460
So is it officially the end of your curse against Team Falcons?

03:38:11.460 --> 03:38:14.460
It's been a long time since you've had a hard time fighting.

03:38:14.460 --> 03:38:15.460
It's officially the end of the course.

03:38:15.460 --> 03:38:18.460
Yes, it's clear that the first win gave us a lot of confidence.

03:38:18.460 --> 03:38:20.460
We were very happy to fight.

03:38:20.460 --> 03:38:22.460
So it's clear that behind it was able to continue.

03:38:22.460 --> 03:38:29.460
And you know there is a little bit of a banter from what I understood from you and the Twisted Mind player Quartz.

03:38:29.460 --> 03:38:38.460
He said that you guys never managed to beat Twisted Mind in a series, so can you tell me why is it going to be different in playoffs?

03:38:38.460 --> 03:38:49.960
Coach, you said that you can't beat T1 against T1, or you can't beat the teamfight.

03:38:49.960 --> 03:38:52.960
I think you can talk about this in the playoffs.

03:38:52.960 --> 03:38:56.460
What do you think and why?

03:38:56.460 --> 03:39:03.460
We know that T1 is a good team, but we think our mistakes are more important in this game.

03:39:03.460 --> 03:39:05.460
So we'll win the next time we meet.

03:39:35.460 --> 03:39:38.100
With Twisted Minds, there's a bit of banter with the player Quartz.

03:39:38.100 --> 03:39:39.900
He's a bit of a searcher.

03:39:39.900 --> 03:39:41.780
Quartz said that he had never beaten them,

03:39:41.780 --> 03:39:44.180
that T1 had never beaten Twisted Minds in a game,

03:39:44.180 --> 03:39:45.180
that it was a team game.

03:39:45.180 --> 03:39:46.180
What does that mean?

03:39:46.180 --> 03:39:47.580
He says yes, it will be different,

03:39:47.580 --> 03:39:50.580
because we are excellent at killing comps that are symmetrical

03:39:50.580 --> 03:39:52.060
when we play the same thing in front of us.

03:39:52.060 --> 03:39:54.300
I think that we lost because we made mistakes

03:39:54.300 --> 03:39:56.900
and we will obviously improve the next time.

03:39:56.900 --> 03:40:00.060
But talking about the team that you just took down Falcons,

03:40:00.060 --> 03:40:01.700
we're going to get to the key,

03:40:01.700 --> 03:40:03.700
Crusher together, Kaja.

03:40:03.700 --> 03:40:04.300
Let's go.

03:40:04.300 --> 03:40:05.940
Let's go.

03:40:05.940 --> 03:40:07.780
Let's go.

03:40:07.780 --> 03:40:13.300
We have T1 eliminating the title defenders.

03:40:13.300 --> 03:40:17.100
Falcons here, that's a low blow for the club.

03:40:17.100 --> 03:40:20.540
Championship run here for Falcons.

03:40:20.540 --> 03:40:24.540
They needed those overwatch points,

03:40:24.540 --> 03:40:30.700
but they are out already and crushed by T1's Proud.

03:40:34.300 --> 03:40:54.300
That was insane. I'm going to welcome you back both onto the stage. I imagine you must feel amazing. You have many, many fans, of course, as a T1 player.

03:40:54.300 --> 03:41:01.300
Is there anything you want to share, anyone you want to thank here for that journey and being in playoffs?

03:41:01.300 --> 03:41:06.540
I'm sure there are fans who are cheering for T1 as well as T1 players.

03:41:06.540 --> 03:41:11.300
Could you say a word to the fans who are watching the world with you all around the world?

03:41:11.940 --> 03:41:17.460
First of all, thank you for cheering for us, thank you for coming all the way here.

03:41:31.300 --> 03:41:44.700
And just like that, Falcons are out in groups and another title at EWC.

03:41:44.700 --> 03:41:50.300
The Overwatch loss was not on my big old card, we have Johnny and Zoe in the studio.

03:41:50.300 --> 03:41:52.420
So I want to start with you.

03:41:52.420 --> 03:41:56.300
You mentioned this is a feel-good win for Donghack the Tag.

03:41:56.300 --> 03:41:57.700
What is the history here?

03:41:57.700 --> 03:41:59.420
Why is this such an important win?

03:41:59.420 --> 03:42:09.020
I mean, as I said, or alluded to previously, he did play with the support backline from the team of Falcons and I would say that...

03:42:09.020 --> 03:42:10.620
Gio wasn't nice to him.

03:42:10.620 --> 03:42:15.020
Yeah, Gio and Fielder and Donghae, they may or may not have gotten along so well.

03:42:15.020 --> 03:42:17.820
That said, I think they buried the hatchets.

03:42:17.820 --> 03:42:20.820
I recently saw a picture of them in front of the Eiffel Tower, so...

03:42:20.820 --> 03:42:21.820
Okay, alright.

03:42:21.820 --> 03:42:24.220
Well, let's take it from the Eiffel Tower.

03:42:24.220 --> 03:42:27.620
It's not enough for me to believe that Honghae hates that guy in-game.

03:42:27.620 --> 03:42:33.060
They beat him 14 times in a row, and now finally, Dongak got two of his own in a row against him.

03:42:33.060 --> 03:42:36.900
They do touch gloves before fighting in most boxing and MMA matches.

03:42:36.900 --> 03:42:38.900
Shout is, we take a look at the highlights here.

03:42:38.900 --> 03:42:42.900
Who was throwing the haymakers that you saw throughout this two-game series?

03:42:42.900 --> 03:42:46.820
Look, T1, they are just way more refined on these cat compositions,

03:42:46.820 --> 03:42:49.700
and you saw they put so much pressure on someone to tank off loudest people.

03:42:49.700 --> 03:42:51.780
He didn't say that again for the newer fans.

03:42:52.340 --> 03:42:57.220
In these cat compositions, yes, we have a character called Jetpack Cat.

03:42:57.220 --> 03:43:01.940
continue. Lots of verticality and it just messes up all the positioning in this game and it's not

03:43:01.940 --> 03:43:06.580
a game that Falcons want to play. Falcons historically, they want to play around abilities

03:43:06.580 --> 03:43:11.380
and get value. They want to beat it with Merrick's Mechanics and T1. They were the smarker team this

03:43:11.380 --> 03:43:16.580
time around. They were just better when it came to Jethra Kat and the Basin teaming up and trying

03:43:16.580 --> 03:43:22.340
to win that aerial duel instead. We saw Dongaq here on Demauga did fantastic work throughout

03:43:22.340 --> 03:43:27.140
putting a lot of pressure onto someone and when that tank is gone for Falcons, you take away

03:43:27.140 --> 03:43:30.660
the head and there's just nothing remaining for them. For the Falcons, they were returning

03:43:30.660 --> 03:43:35.500
Chip and they are now out of the competition. They of course had players from the last year's

03:43:35.500 --> 03:43:39.940
team that are on all their pieces left in this tournament. Who else could you watch

03:43:39.940 --> 03:43:42.300
that won a trophy last year that's still in it, Johnny?

03:43:42.300 --> 03:43:44.940
Well, it's going to be proper. It's going to be proper, doesn't it?

03:43:44.940 --> 03:43:45.940
Yes, it is. Yeah.

03:43:45.940 --> 03:43:49.380
Yeah, it's going to be proper for some divisions. So I hope it's still alive. I mean, there

03:43:49.380 --> 03:43:52.940
was a recently left the game. He saw a weakness with Falcons and he went to set a division

03:43:52.940 --> 03:43:55.260
instead thinking he had a better chance to win the chip.

03:43:55.260 --> 03:43:58.340
Joey, there is a look at the key crush one more time.

03:43:58.340 --> 03:43:59.340
That one was loud.

03:43:59.340 --> 03:44:01.700
I was able to smash this bad boy.

03:44:01.700 --> 03:44:04.660
Had to be a great feeling, because everyone doubted 2-1.

03:44:04.660 --> 03:44:07.020
Only 23% of the fans sided with him.

03:44:07.020 --> 03:44:09.900
Which is kind of crazy, because we had so much hope for them.

03:44:09.900 --> 03:44:11.900
Last year, they were like the up-and-comers, right?

03:44:11.900 --> 03:44:14.180
They were the ones who wanted the change of guard.

03:44:14.180 --> 03:44:16.620
We wanted to see them taking down all those veterans.

03:44:16.620 --> 03:44:18.100
And I feel like last year, they were just

03:44:18.100 --> 03:44:20.060
on the brink of doing so.

03:44:20.060 --> 03:44:22.620
And then they just kind of slowed down.

03:44:22.620 --> 03:44:28.800
Luckily, Falcons also slowed down this year tremendously, in fact, so, yeah, I think it

03:44:28.800 --> 03:44:32.860
was written in the stars, so I think Falcons' performance prior to this event was already

03:44:32.860 --> 03:44:33.860
disappointing.

03:44:33.860 --> 03:44:39.220
And a lot of people want to see a twisted mind's T1 matchup see courts versus crowd.

03:44:39.220 --> 03:44:42.340
There's been a lot of talk there, Johnny, is there another matchup you think would be

03:44:42.340 --> 03:44:44.860
a good fit for T1 as we get to the bracket?

03:44:44.860 --> 03:44:47.860
We'll be doing a draw show at the end of the day.

03:44:47.860 --> 03:44:52.380
I think T1 matches up pretty well against both teams, but most of those E&B A teams

03:44:52.380 --> 03:44:57.540
a Symmetra, we saw the Mauga come out from GK previously. I think those are the match-ups

03:44:57.540 --> 03:45:01.420
that T1 probably have the same style for. The question for me is, are they as good

03:45:01.420 --> 03:45:05.740
as the EMEA teams on that playstyle? They said they're ready to smash the Symmetra

03:45:05.740 --> 03:45:10.580
Cup no matter what you bring. T1 will be ready for it tomorrow. In the meantime, we will

03:45:10.580 --> 03:45:16.620
be back with another match. It is day three of Overwatch at the Esports World Cup 2026.

03:45:22.380 --> 03:45:24.440
you

03:45:52.380 --> 03:45:54.440
you

03:46:22.380 --> 03:46:24.440
you

03:46:52.380 --> 03:46:54.440
you

03:47:22.380 --> 03:47:24.440
you

03:47:52.380 --> 03:47:54.440
you

03:48:22.380 --> 03:48:24.440
you

03:48:52.380 --> 03:48:54.440
you

03:49:22.380 --> 03:49:24.440
you

03:49:52.380 --> 03:49:54.440
you

03:50:22.380 --> 03:50:24.440
you

03:50:52.380 --> 03:50:54.440
you

03:51:22.380 --> 03:51:47.180
So thank you so much for joining me now Nico I gotta say I think it's safe to say that barrel is one of the most popular team here at the midseason championship to be fair you guys aren't really the strongest team but yet everyone everyone loves barrel why do you think that is

03:51:52.380 --> 03:52:02.380
I think it's the most popular team. What's the reason?

03:52:02.380 --> 03:52:09.380
Well, I have to correct you. We are the strongest team.

03:52:09.380 --> 03:52:12.380
We are the strongest team at the beginning.

03:52:12.380 --> 03:52:17.380
Especially, there are a lot of players who are humorous.

03:52:17.380 --> 03:52:21.380
When it comes to KSG, Egao is pretty cute.

03:52:21.380 --> 03:52:25.380
Top Dragon and Slay are also very popular players.

03:52:25.380 --> 03:52:28.380
I think that's why they are so popular.

03:52:28.380 --> 03:52:36.380
Well, like I have to correct you. Like we are the strongest team. Like, you know, I got really like caught up by what you just said.

03:52:36.380 --> 03:52:41.380
But like, you know, we are not the strongest teams, but like, you know, we are the strongest team.

03:52:41.380 --> 03:52:47.380
And why we are popular is because like, you know, we are a bunch of humorous members.

03:52:47.380 --> 03:52:54.260
members like for example KSG has a very lovely smile and

03:52:55.860 --> 03:52:57.860
Top Dragon and Slay are

03:52:59.420 --> 03:53:06.820
Very very famous throughout the world globally. So yes, that's the secret about our popularity really

03:53:06.900 --> 03:53:12.380
Nico, I'm so sorry. Yes, you guys are the strongest. I will correct Verl's the strongest team at EWC

03:53:12.380 --> 03:53:17.520
Alright, talk about being the strongest you guys are facing off against SSG. How confident are you going into that match?

03:53:17.520 --> 03:53:30.520
Yes, I'm very sorry. Yes, Valor is the strongest team in the world. Next, it's going to be a match with SSG, but how confident are you?

03:53:31.520 --> 03:53:40.520
Yes, we lost the World Final in the last World Final, so we prepared a lot for that. We will definitely win.

03:53:47.520 --> 03:53:49.920
like pay them back.

03:53:49.920 --> 03:53:54.920
We had like spent all our energy and time to prepare for it.

03:53:55.360 --> 03:53:58.800
So like, you know, we are definitely going to win this time.

03:53:58.800 --> 03:53:59.640
All right.

03:53:59.640 --> 03:54:02.480
I am very excited, Nico and also Verrill.

03:54:02.480 --> 03:54:03.880
Fighting, kappa tei kudasai.

03:54:03.880 --> 03:54:04.720
Arigatou masu.

03:54:04.720 --> 03:54:06.400
Arigatou masu, thank you so much.

03:54:06.400 --> 03:54:07.240
Arigatou.

03:54:08.760 --> 03:54:10.200
Can't help but love that guy,

03:54:10.200 --> 03:54:14.840
but the fans only have 20% of their faith in Verrill today.

03:54:14.840 --> 03:54:16.600
Do you agree with him?

03:54:16.600 --> 03:54:19.960
I mean, yes, but still, how dare, how dare you?

03:54:19.960 --> 03:54:22.000
Okay, yeah, I've been cooking on this one.

03:54:22.000 --> 03:54:24.320
Listen, look at the bracket of last year,

03:54:24.320 --> 03:54:26.960
because last year they got knocked into the lower bracket

03:54:26.960 --> 03:54:28.280
by Korea's number one.

03:54:28.280 --> 03:54:29.720
Same thing happened this year.

03:54:29.720 --> 03:54:32.960
Then they won against China's number three.

03:54:32.960 --> 03:54:34.640
Huh, that happened again.

03:54:34.640 --> 03:54:39.040
And then they got knocked out by NA's number two.

03:54:39.040 --> 03:54:41.200
Now they're going up against NA's number two.

03:54:41.200 --> 03:54:43.360
So script writers just went for a copy paste here,

03:54:43.360 --> 03:54:45.480
but surely, they're going to change their fate.

03:54:45.480 --> 03:54:49.640
deja vu doesn't happen in frizz does it Jake if that's exactly that's that's

03:54:51.640 --> 03:54:54.560
I I do think though for Verrill this is gonna be a scary one

03:54:54.560 --> 03:55:00.000
I mean heavy hitters from the DPS line and SSG I think sugar free and lethal are two of the

03:55:00.280 --> 03:55:04.480
Strongest players from North America in this tournament and they're gonna absolutely turn it up

03:55:04.480 --> 03:55:10.160
So for Japan, you know, this is not a region where they're often tested against this level of DPS performance

03:55:10.160 --> 03:55:13.000
And I think that could be a really tough issue for them in this match

03:55:13.000 --> 03:55:17.000
We got 30 seconds to the stage, so Jake, how many maps do we go to?

03:55:17.000 --> 03:55:22.000
I'm going to go 2-0, SSG. I think they're more experienced at this level of play,

03:55:22.000 --> 03:55:24.000
more experienced under this kind of a pressure.

03:55:24.000 --> 03:55:29.000
I talk about the history for Verrill. They just haven't had that kind of opportunity really to rise.

03:55:29.000 --> 03:55:32.000
They're the best in Japan, but it's really hard to continue to level up

03:55:32.000 --> 03:55:35.000
when you find yourself alone at the top of your region.

03:55:35.000 --> 03:55:37.000
It's maybe also been the problem for SSG at times,

03:55:37.000 --> 03:55:41.000
but I think that they face a lot more adversity and just a lot more veterans on their careers.

03:55:41.000 --> 03:55:46.560
their careers. So I am looking at Top Dragon for this Veral squad. Who are you looking at

03:55:46.560 --> 03:55:51.640
on the stage for this fight? I mean, yeah, it's going to be coming down right top drag

03:55:51.640 --> 03:55:55.640
needs to perform on the other side. Lethal has been performing all tournament long.

03:55:55.640 --> 03:56:00.720
If he's once more wearing his big boy carry pants, a favorite phrase, then it might just

03:56:00.720 --> 03:56:06.080
be SSG's game for two maps. It's been a fun ride so far. Unfortunately, this is the end

03:56:06.080 --> 03:56:10.360
of the road for one of our two teams. Jake, final call. Who did you say is going to win?

03:56:10.360 --> 03:56:13.320
I've got SSG2O, I think this is NA making it in.

03:56:13.320 --> 03:56:14.320
And you're calling?

03:56:15.680 --> 03:56:20.560
Well, you know what, 2-1, 2-1, 2-1 for SSG, but 2-1.

03:56:20.560 --> 03:56:22.360
I believe in Niko's smile.

03:56:22.360 --> 03:56:23.680
The girls getting through.

03:56:23.680 --> 03:56:27.360
Why not let the chaos continue here at EWC 2026?

03:56:27.360 --> 03:56:29.400
It's the mid-season championship

03:56:29.400 --> 03:56:31.160
as we continue on the stage.

03:56:40.360 --> 03:57:00.880
Wow, wow, wow, title defenders, Falcons are officially our big news,

03:57:00.880 --> 03:57:05.720
Effectivement, the defenders of the title Falcons are eliminated from the competition.

03:57:05.720 --> 03:57:09.320
A nice revenge for T1 shining on the Korean stage pop.

03:57:10.320 --> 03:57:11.520
That means a lot, man.

03:57:11.520 --> 03:57:12.520
It really does.

03:57:12.520 --> 03:57:15.920
We've seen, of course, the Falcons' wings clicked here in Paris

03:57:15.920 --> 03:57:19.720
and the title defenders key crushed for the world to see.

03:57:19.720 --> 03:57:24.120
But with their demise, opens the door wide open for the remaining contenders.

03:57:24.120 --> 03:57:27.520
And the next two to step out onto the stage, it should be a lot of fun.

03:57:27.520 --> 03:57:31.520
Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun and I'm especially excited about one player.

03:57:31.520 --> 03:57:34.720
He has the worst position when it comes to gaming,

03:57:34.720 --> 03:57:36.960
But he has a bright smile. He's funny.

03:57:36.960 --> 03:57:39.160
I'm rooting for him. It's KSG.

03:57:39.160 --> 03:57:41.960
I'm really looking forward to seeing Sugar 3 step out here

03:57:41.960 --> 03:57:44.640
and lead his team onto the stage.

03:57:44.640 --> 03:57:46.880
Before we bring them out, I want to give a shout out

03:57:46.880 --> 03:57:50.200
to our fans, our passionate Overwatch fans here in Paris.

03:57:50.200 --> 03:57:51.680
Make some noise for yourselves.

03:57:51.680 --> 03:57:52.680
Thanks for coming out.

03:57:52.680 --> 03:57:53.680
Make some noise!

03:57:54.840 --> 03:57:56.200
So bring out the next teams.

03:57:56.200 --> 03:57:59.240
Let's go for it. The first team comes from America

03:57:59.240 --> 03:58:04.080
and it is Space Station Gaming!

03:58:04.720 --> 03:58:16.240
Space station gaming, the North American underdogs.

03:58:16.240 --> 03:58:23.400
We need their consistency on stage, but maybe even more now, in loser bracket, when you're

03:58:23.400 --> 03:58:27.480
not allowed to fail one more time.

03:58:27.480 --> 03:58:34.200
Their tests, now on the international stage, and with bright smiles and confidence, can

03:58:34.200 --> 03:58:36.200
Can they take you here in Paris?

03:58:37.920 --> 03:58:39.440
Please welcome their opponents.

03:58:39.440 --> 03:58:41.440
It's VAROLE!

03:58:44.140 --> 03:58:49.840
For years, Japan has set for a team capable of standing with the world's best.

03:58:49.840 --> 03:58:52.400
VAROLE have become that team.

03:58:52.400 --> 03:58:57.640
A critical win over AGL yesterday kept their heart beating in Paris

03:58:57.640 --> 03:59:01.400
and now they need to find the strength to go again

03:59:01.400 --> 03:59:06.600
Because the players in the mid-season championship playoffs hangs in the balance.

03:59:08.720 --> 03:59:13.360
Back against the wall, it's time for them to step up their game.

03:59:13.640 --> 03:59:17.840
VARO vs SSG starts now.

03:59:21.680 --> 03:59:26.800
So we have NA's established contender versus Japan's perennial champion

03:59:27.160 --> 03:59:29.040
with a payoff spot on the line.

03:59:29.040 --> 03:59:33.960
Now, I imagine that the space station are hoping to convince us that yesterday was an exception, right?

03:59:33.960 --> 03:59:37.460
That thrashing loss, something they want to put in the rear view mirror quickly.

03:59:37.460 --> 03:59:41.600
Varel, though, would like to prove that yesterday was just about beginning.

03:59:41.600 --> 03:59:46.800
A big win over JDG, they look like they've been solid, but this might be another level for them.

03:59:46.800 --> 03:59:54.740
And so he teased out of it a history that, of course, for Varel, in this mid-season championship has been pretty reminiscent of last year.

03:59:54.740 --> 03:59:59.620
Yes, he got a little bit of a highlight reel of all of Donghax kills on Chiyo.

03:59:59.620 --> 04:00:01.860
I'm sure Donghax will be watching that a little bit later.

04:00:01.860 --> 04:00:03.700
With the story there, it's a game.

04:00:03.700 --> 04:00:04.500
Yes.

04:00:04.500 --> 04:00:11.220
Varro, I think, is under, I think it would be fair to say, immense proportion, right?

04:00:11.220 --> 04:00:15.180
This is a team that obviously has a massive fan base,

04:00:15.180 --> 04:00:19.500
representing Japan as supposed to be the first map in the series.

04:00:19.500 --> 04:00:28.500
And they are desperate for this team to make it to a playoff, to a deeper tournament here in OWCS.

04:00:28.500 --> 04:00:31.500
And this might be their best opportunity they've had to do it.

04:00:32.500 --> 04:00:34.500
So any questions about SSG?

04:00:34.500 --> 04:00:37.500
It was obviously AGL, the barrel got passed yesterday, excuse me.

04:00:37.500 --> 04:00:42.500
It was JDG that SSG started their mid-season championship campaign against.

04:00:42.500 --> 04:00:43.500
And they're pretty solid.

04:00:43.500 --> 04:00:47.500
These are established names, both from North America and Europe of course.

04:00:47.500 --> 04:00:51.500
of course, and it's like lethal on this roster that are ganked for higher for quite some time,

04:00:51.500 --> 04:00:55.420
that brings a lot of intangibles to his teams. A bit of levity, but when he gets in the server,

04:00:55.420 --> 04:01:01.580
sometimes he just decides to become server admin. Yes, I mean lethal, just like an unbelievable

04:01:01.580 --> 04:01:05.340
hitscan, the ability to kind of take over the game, then sugar-free, right? I mean,

04:01:05.340 --> 04:01:08.860
how good he has been over the last few years in North America. Somewhat like,

04:01:10.140 --> 04:01:13.820
never really forgotten, right? But like, he's someone to come all the way around to be like

04:01:13.820 --> 04:01:17.980
slightly underrated at this point I feel like. I think he's just a victim of the region at large.

04:01:17.980 --> 04:01:21.900
Being a little witcher on the way. I mean what the first year we were here at EWC he was in the

04:01:21.900 --> 04:01:29.900
final. Absolutely. Toronto Ultra. Yeah. That's a sick carry gum for map number one. I think one of

04:01:29.900 --> 04:01:36.220
the benefits for SSG right is that Hawk is able to play so many tanks at a high level. He's been

04:01:36.220 --> 04:01:41.180
doing it for ages. I love whenever I see him at events he's kind of picking his mind about the

04:01:41.180 --> 04:01:47.340
the game he's so smart. Yeah he's come and gone. Found love in the game again and is now competing

04:01:47.340 --> 04:01:53.580
at the highest level for NA. Ultraviolet, someone who will always look to in the game on his own

04:01:53.580 --> 04:01:59.580
terms. The first time we ever saw him in an Overwatch competitive game, like their professional game,

04:01:59.580 --> 04:02:04.460
he got like a five take off a biodegrading. So yeah this guy truly exploded onto the scene and

04:02:04.460 --> 04:02:09.900
it's become a true flasher alongside the rest of space station gaming. Off we go folks, only one

04:02:09.900 --> 04:02:14.900
spot in the playoffs available between these two the loser has the key and dreams

04:02:14.900 --> 04:02:22.580
crushed. The barrel would be the dreams of a whole region yeah crushed right

04:02:22.580 --> 04:02:28.820
and he also for SSG right I mean team Liquid already out right Dallas fuel in

04:02:28.820 --> 04:02:34.780
that lower bracket SSG as well. That could be bad for North American overwatch

04:02:34.780 --> 04:02:36.780
here too.

04:02:36.780 --> 04:02:39.780
Hanna plays really takes safe position to another level entirely.

04:02:39.780 --> 04:02:41.780
Hope for this dude.

04:02:41.780 --> 04:02:44.780
Straight out of line of sight and Ultima just straight up locked that door so

04:02:44.780 --> 04:02:46.780
a little bit harder for Hork to get a call upon his healing.

04:02:46.780 --> 04:02:49.780
Admiral also not getting any of it.

04:02:49.780 --> 04:02:51.780
Slayze able to finish him off.

04:02:51.780 --> 04:02:54.780
Where's the healing guys? Where is it?

04:02:54.780 --> 04:02:57.780
Yeah, I mean SSG in a weird spot at the moment.

04:02:57.780 --> 04:02:59.780
Rate so much pressure.

04:02:59.780 --> 04:03:01.780
On to Lethal on this side of the map.

04:03:01.780 --> 04:03:03.780
Top Dragon was here with Slay.

04:03:03.780 --> 04:03:06.780
So he was never really able to kind of free fire over the point.

04:03:06.780 --> 04:03:08.780
They never really get the bash in the right spot either,

04:03:08.780 --> 04:03:11.780
and they quickly move away from Cat Bastion.

04:03:11.780 --> 04:03:13.780
It'll be still staying with the Cat.

04:03:13.780 --> 04:03:17.780
So Jetpack has been proven to be pretty strong even without that bash in play,

04:03:17.780 --> 04:03:21.780
but Sojourn Tracer now, the slot's here for Spacey.

04:03:21.780 --> 04:03:23.780
Yeah, switch off the classic label.

04:03:23.780 --> 04:03:26.780
I don't think the ultraviolet's going to be looking at TECA 1v1 against Cloud any time soon again.

04:03:26.780 --> 04:03:29.780
He is going to be needed to keep Hawk by some fit.

04:03:29.780 --> 04:03:35.780
And yeah, he's dropped down now, but now I would be pressured by Top Dragon, who's been shaked off by Admiral.

04:03:38.280 --> 04:03:44.280
They're trying to make a play for this Rematcher here, right? A few times we've been on with UV or, you know, Hawke,

04:03:44.280 --> 04:03:47.780
and they're trying to pressure down and get the tradition to collapse onto this ram,

04:03:47.780 --> 04:03:52.780
but it just developed so late-match that they tell you she'll just stand here, block, put the shield up,

04:03:52.780 --> 04:03:56.780
and by the time they actually start to move forward towards the Rematcher of Barrel,

04:03:56.780 --> 04:03:58.780
SSG's got two players dead.

04:03:58.780 --> 04:04:00.780
Yeah, they're looking pretty horrific.

04:04:00.780 --> 04:04:04.780
I think the switch over to the Oresikia should tell you everything you need to know about space station struggles.

04:04:05.780 --> 04:04:09.780
Hawke needs to take space away from KSG, and has not been able to do it on the Remantran.

04:04:09.780 --> 04:04:16.780
Maybe he's hoping for a little bit more self-sufficient here, because Top Dragon has been tying the attention span of his backline up entirely.

04:04:16.780 --> 04:04:21.780
What's the plan at the Slay? He knows he's very close to a catnap, but doesn't want to over extend into the S.

04:04:21.780 --> 04:04:26.780
Yeah, just wanted to put a little bit of pressure up on the high ground and that is a dive there

04:04:26.780 --> 04:04:30.780
I mean Top Dragon's sleight of it just dominating this right-hand side of the map

04:04:31.580 --> 04:04:34.780
UV hit with a fire grenade. He's gonna have to back on up

04:04:35.420 --> 04:04:41.260
Okay, he's been ugly. Yeah, these teams aren't even standing on even footing fundamentally back right now barrel is just dominant

04:04:43.500 --> 04:04:47.260
And let me didn't know what you didn't I think that's a car road proud

04:04:47.260 --> 04:04:52.260
There are all hawk hawk has been around that corner of the corner by the point waiting for his teammates the entire

04:04:52.860 --> 04:04:59.160
They've been staggered constantly if hot dragon and sleigh have taken barrel and the hopes of Japan on to the world stage

04:04:59.160 --> 04:05:03.360
And they have taken space station to task so far in this round. It's dominant

04:05:03.360 --> 04:05:06.740
I don't even know if I've seen any illumination tip for space station gaming. That was

04:05:07.460 --> 04:05:09.460
Well, I could have been email that round

04:05:09.460 --> 04:05:10.460
Man.

04:05:10.460 --> 04:05:16.460
I'm not even sure if it should have been an email, maybe like a Slack message or something.

04:05:16.460 --> 04:05:18.740
Yeah, he hit me up on my page or that I don't wear anymore.

04:05:18.740 --> 04:05:21.740
Yeah, this should be a quick one on Teams.

04:05:21.740 --> 04:05:26.820
That is a sick apple and fire though.

04:05:26.820 --> 04:05:29.420
Yeah, I mean, I feel for Hock.

04:05:29.420 --> 04:05:30.580
I would love to see him sad.

04:05:30.580 --> 04:05:32.580
I can't even imagine he died that many times.

04:05:32.580 --> 04:05:35.180
You're just kind of waiting in the joke the entire game.

04:05:35.180 --> 04:05:37.180
Hey, what are we doing?

04:05:37.180 --> 04:05:39.180
Oh, yeah.

04:05:39.180 --> 04:05:42.620
That is a personal avaral sign by the end of this game.

04:05:42.620 --> 04:05:45.620
He just put that one down, pick another one back up.

04:05:45.620 --> 04:05:47.620
Hawke is 0-0-0-0!

04:05:47.620 --> 04:05:50.620
I told you, I was like, he's just kind of sitting there waiting for something to happen.

04:05:50.620 --> 04:05:52.620
That is how I've ever seen him.

04:05:52.620 --> 04:05:53.620
That's the number for the ambulance.

04:05:53.620 --> 04:05:55.120
I don't think we've ever seen that.

04:05:55.120 --> 04:06:00.620
As far as I'm concerned, just to fall around where the tank doesn't get in the lint is

04:06:00.620 --> 04:06:01.620
to die.

04:06:01.620 --> 04:06:03.620
It's based because he knows there's no point fighting when he's backflying, there are

04:06:03.620 --> 04:06:05.820
intattas every time they come off spawn.

04:06:05.820 --> 04:06:11.620
Well, he's like, alright guys, we're coming, we're running, they're like, yeah, we're setting up over here, and then they would just die, so you're just kind of waiting.

04:06:11.620 --> 04:06:14.020
That's not good enough for the international stage, SSG.

04:06:15.820 --> 04:06:20.020
I hope he goes for the 0-0-0 for the entire map, that would be something we've never seen.

04:06:20.620 --> 04:06:23.020
It's literally our emergency services number.

04:06:26.020 --> 04:06:28.220
Cool and ambulance, but not for me, save barrel.

04:06:29.020 --> 04:06:33.020
Okay, here we go, okay, leave the loadpins up to your cat here at least, Cloud.

04:06:33.020 --> 04:06:35.020
has been picked up by A.

04:06:35.020 --> 04:06:38.020
Both are on essentially a descent to a controversy at the start of the round.

04:06:38.020 --> 04:06:41.020
And Hawks over to the Diva to try and help this backline, right?

04:06:41.020 --> 04:06:45.020
And he's so much pressure with Top Dragon in slay there.

04:06:45.020 --> 04:06:49.020
Trying to get Nico here out of harm's way. Nice movement, but Hawks on the pursuit.

04:06:49.020 --> 04:06:51.020
Yeah, I think it's correct here.

04:06:51.020 --> 04:06:56.020
Hawks realizing that he cannot just ignore the Jampak-Kat plus other, you know, during this round.

04:06:56.020 --> 04:06:58.020
He needs to go after them.

04:06:58.020 --> 04:06:59.020
Too much is having.

04:06:59.020 --> 04:07:00.020
Composer.

04:07:00.020 --> 04:07:04.340
pause here now looks like a potentially an issue here this would be on the

04:07:04.340 --> 04:07:10.140
barrel side of the stage it looked like a you know KSG's it's very close I'm

04:07:10.140 --> 04:07:17.940
wondering if he just yeah not the cable out of his posture is we're gonna have

04:07:17.940 --> 04:07:24.580
to catch up with him in ten years I mean that's I mean he's so hunched over

04:07:24.580 --> 04:07:27.780
Yeah, he is. I can't be comfy. Sometimes he's like,

04:07:29.300 --> 04:07:36.820
the cute, okay, so he unplugged his PC. So that is, uh, you know, what? He sits that close.

04:07:36.820 --> 04:07:42.500
He's getting aggressive. He's in the, he's in the mode. And I mean, he just ripped the PC out of

04:07:42.500 --> 04:07:48.500
the wall. That's fine, bro's, bro's locked. Um, it's not the strangest posture that I've ever seen.

04:07:48.500 --> 04:07:50.500
I think Hanby still thanks to Kyke for that.

04:07:50.500 --> 04:07:52.500
Yeah, that is uh...

04:07:52.500 --> 04:07:56.500
Yeah, his teammate's there, like, yeah, he's done this a few times.

04:07:56.500 --> 04:08:00.500
He's just so animated.

04:08:00.500 --> 04:08:02.500
Letting you know at First of the World.

04:08:02.500 --> 04:08:05.500
Something felt like that for SSG's, which is tournaments like this.

04:08:05.500 --> 04:08:12.500
They're fighting to be the first North American club in the mousepad on the table as well.

04:08:12.500 --> 04:08:15.500
Half of his mousepad is not even on the table.

04:08:15.500 --> 04:08:18.380
Well, you probably kind of get this to a degree

04:08:18.380 --> 04:08:21.180
because you want to simulate your setup at land

04:08:21.180 --> 04:08:22.180
as close as you can to home,

04:08:22.180 --> 04:08:25.660
especially on smaller desks or less space on their table.

04:08:25.660 --> 04:08:28.180
It's also why this phenomena of the keyboards

04:08:28.180 --> 04:08:29.860
being turned sideways are reaching out from.

04:08:29.860 --> 04:08:32.060
Everyone had like 10 desks on their keyboards

04:08:32.060 --> 04:08:33.620
on their keyboards, so they had to sort of move

04:08:33.620 --> 04:08:35.420
to the main room on tables.

04:08:35.420 --> 04:08:36.460
So it's not just a fashion choice,

04:08:36.460 --> 04:08:38.220
it's certainly not an ergonomic one.

04:08:39.220 --> 04:08:42.420
So SSG gets off to a good start here in round number two,

04:08:42.420 --> 04:08:48.420
But Barrel just absolutely dominant there and round number one is...

04:08:48.420 --> 04:08:52.420
I'd imagine we're getting a little bit closer here, getting back into things.

04:08:52.420 --> 04:08:59.420
Yeah, I mean again, we're powered by SSDs in Zero, so normally we can boot up and get into action pretty quickly.

04:08:59.420 --> 04:09:07.420
It is an unconventional tech pause reason, but frankly I'm more satisfied with this than people running off to bathroom without warning.

04:09:07.420 --> 04:09:14.020
Hmm, yeah, that was a thousand interesting ones, Christopher's like, Christopher's starting to play well, man.

04:09:14.020 --> 04:09:19.220
I love the attire. I really do think so. The SSG after could be turned into overalls, so it looks a little panicked.

04:09:19.220 --> 04:09:29.420
They do, they do. They're the stick kit. And also the team skin, right, with obviously the Roadhog with the SSG belly, and that one's going to be numbers.

04:09:31.020 --> 04:09:33.620
It's great, great real estate for a team old. We like that.

04:09:33.620 --> 04:09:38.880
Right, oh I'm just away from getting back into the action, it's reminding us of the

04:09:38.880 --> 04:09:40.540
plug is in the PC.

04:09:40.540 --> 04:09:45.280
To catch you up with what happened in the first round, it was Top Dragon and Slay highlighting

04:09:45.280 --> 04:09:50.980
here for Varel, the jetpack catplay from Slay, who is your Translate 1 MVP.

04:09:50.980 --> 04:09:55.820
Well, it's too much a handle, this time though, PlayStation have the Deeper, which you can't

04:09:55.820 --> 04:09:59.060
answer this but being told gets even busier now.

04:09:59.060 --> 04:10:05.500
It is 26% down there by barrel at the start so not absolutely nothing there

04:10:05.500 --> 04:10:11.740
early on as the DCK is G when he gets back to the lobby will switch over to

04:10:11.740 --> 04:10:17.020
the diva so this is what the jetpack pack can provide Tracer I just gets it's

04:10:17.020 --> 04:10:19.820
tough drinking all the way across the map there.

04:10:19.820 --> 04:10:23.420
I'm sure if we tried to pressure Slay down it was nice for him Ultra Violet.

04:10:23.420 --> 04:10:27.180
We'll intercept Jim Topdrager there might be a wrinkle in this plan as a recall though

04:10:27.180 --> 04:10:30.160
It is forced and ultraviolet has friends and help on the way

04:10:31.220 --> 04:10:35.700
Yeah, look like slay was trying to make it back for the rest of the teams and top dragon

04:10:35.700 --> 04:10:37.700
He dropped some on the other side and

04:10:38.100 --> 04:10:42.900
It's a little bit too close take some damage from sugar free then you be just gonna round to corner finish the box

04:10:42.900 --> 04:10:43.860
So

04:10:43.860 --> 04:10:46.620
It's a little round here in round number two

04:10:47.100 --> 04:10:50.460
But long to try to play all nice thing. Okay, that's nice. I'm sugar free

04:10:50.460 --> 04:10:57.060
On the Nico of all things, one of the DPS would be most lethal to Tracer, and now that Ultraviolet

04:10:57.060 --> 04:11:00.900
is not busy playing on a paintball with Cloud, it's better to hit some pretty crucial biotics

04:11:00.900 --> 04:11:03.900
grenades from some safely ensconced spots here.

04:11:03.900 --> 04:11:06.100
Yeah, because they have great map control, right?

04:11:06.100 --> 04:11:09.700
They're able to control some of the high ground as they are trying to stay.

04:11:09.700 --> 04:11:10.700
He's pushed up.

04:11:10.700 --> 04:11:11.700
He's pushed up.

04:11:11.700 --> 04:11:13.700
It's there to be found here.

04:11:13.700 --> 04:11:17.220
Eventually Ultraviolet is going to be accosted again by Top Dragon, then the stick.

04:11:17.220 --> 04:11:18.220
That'll do it.

04:11:18.220 --> 04:11:23.020
done both Tracers with a very important pause bomb pick-ups, but they haven't had control

04:11:23.020 --> 04:11:26.140
of the point since that first fight, they need to get their skates on.

04:11:26.140 --> 04:11:30.420
Orc wants to maintain his space here, but his very swift space-states are gaming, Orc

04:11:30.420 --> 04:11:34.260
has a remake opportunity for very least, and oh ho ho ho, nooo!

04:11:34.260 --> 04:11:37.500
Hey, ST, drag that into the open, but whoever the nano boost did actually mitigate enough

04:11:37.500 --> 04:11:42.020
of the self-destruct damage to keep him inside these things, that is so nice from the player.

04:11:42.020 --> 04:11:46.020
Yeah, really nice attempt though from Adler, right-train it, drag that D.va into the self-destruct,

04:11:46.020 --> 04:11:49.200
something that we don't see that often. Top Dragon starting to get up in this

04:11:49.200 --> 04:11:53.860
round as well. Biogranade goes in there from UV, doesn't connect with anything,

04:11:53.860 --> 04:11:57.500
very quick. Nano not used there, they're gonna hold on with it. They get to 99, which is the

04:11:57.500 --> 04:12:02.700
most important thing there for SSG. The Ultraman are they going for a more

04:12:02.700 --> 04:12:07.940
attempt at play, but that certainly exposes you to punish the player. He did suffer in the

04:12:07.940 --> 04:12:10.820
end, lethal Abel to extract himself from the point quite in time, so it'd be full

04:12:10.820 --> 04:12:15.820
respawn and hawkers had to go for a long walk off the short-term.

04:12:15.820 --> 04:12:24.820
Nano available here for SSG, you think, hawk or sugar-free the targets.

04:12:24.820 --> 04:12:26.820
Barrel, dude, top-triking with the pulse bomb, right?

04:12:26.820 --> 04:12:28.820
It was massive getting rid of UV early in the previous fight.

04:12:28.820 --> 04:12:31.820
Even just kind of got right past the defense matrix.

04:12:31.820 --> 04:12:34.820
In general though, this has been much, much better for Space Force.

04:12:34.820 --> 04:12:36.820
Oh, without a doubt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, they're awake.

04:12:36.820 --> 04:12:38.820
Just about anything.

04:12:38.820 --> 04:12:40.420
Yes, significantly better.

04:12:40.420 --> 04:12:41.700
We could set the plane to game now.

04:12:41.700 --> 04:12:44.820
So quick down there, give it over to Lethal here as he runs Cloud into the ground.

04:12:44.820 --> 04:12:46.500
He'll take the fight against Niko quite happily.

04:12:47.140 --> 04:12:50.260
Well, move to the top, goes Slay. He's trying to quickly leave the scene.

04:12:50.260 --> 04:12:52.740
Top Dragon again, successful. It is a fantastic aura.

04:12:52.740 --> 04:12:54.500
The hook is not actually attacking through the back, but yeah, Slay with a catnap.

04:12:54.500 --> 04:12:56.900
I don't know who's caught here if there's anything to it.

04:12:57.780 --> 04:12:59.300
And a little isolated is Lethal.

04:12:59.300 --> 04:13:02.660
But you favor the bastion in this kind of matchup, although you must respect the cat.

04:13:02.660 --> 04:13:03.540
He's encroaching.

04:13:04.020 --> 04:13:06.740
Oh my goodness, up behind him, Slay able to find that.

04:13:06.740 --> 04:13:13.320
So, although SSG gets the two player advantage early on, KSG has a self-destruct which he's able to get back in mech.

04:13:13.320 --> 04:13:17.500
Tom Dragon with the whole spawn, he's able to get one and then Slay's still alive as well.

04:13:17.500 --> 04:13:18.660
That is a rough...

04:13:18.660 --> 04:13:20.420
Aw, it's gonna be brutal.

04:13:20.420 --> 04:13:23.860
And also the artillery, they're gonna be able to kinda like hold us outside the spawn.

04:13:23.860 --> 04:13:25.700
Let's see where they can set a user here.

04:13:25.700 --> 04:13:28.360
That's also interesting because it puts you perfect information about the map.

04:13:28.360 --> 04:13:30.540
Oh, they are 2v2 or an overwatch in the end.

04:13:30.540 --> 04:13:33.540
It goes to some of the search for Ultraviolet and fight Neanna.

04:13:33.540 --> 04:13:39.420
Not to fight back for this one if you space station game, you better start in this round, but Feral's seem to have outlasted now, Hork.

04:13:39.420 --> 04:13:45.720
Cutting hold up in the heat, just needs to stall at the moment, but doesn't have a self-destruct for a rematch, it has to actually leave.

04:13:45.720 --> 04:13:50.880
Nice little power healing coming in there from Adro, but Leakler's already gone down, that's the lion's share, off to a damage output.

04:13:50.880 --> 04:13:59.060
Top Dragon's gonna make this even worse by divesting Hork off his net, and Sugarfree has much of his damage mitigated by Defense Matrix.

04:13:59.060 --> 04:14:07.240
Here come a barrel not satisfied to simply repeat history based on up on a strong foot. It's NA's number two

04:14:08.140 --> 04:14:11.320
You have round one very dominant from barrel

04:14:12.440 --> 04:14:18.640
Round number two SSG battle back they get advantage there late, right? It's the nano on the lethal he finds two

04:14:19.520 --> 04:14:21.520
And then they are able

04:14:21.900 --> 04:14:24.200
To battle back self-destruct

04:14:25.160 --> 04:14:27.360
Get a pulse bomb there and a catnap

04:14:27.360 --> 04:14:32.320
You take a look at some of the highlights, it feels like Top Dragon really kind of turned

04:14:32.320 --> 04:14:35.160
it on in the second half of round two.

04:14:35.160 --> 04:14:36.760
Yeah, Nana giving over there.

04:14:36.760 --> 04:14:37.760
So lethal.

04:14:37.760 --> 04:14:39.360
Lethal actually gets snatched back.

04:14:39.360 --> 04:14:41.360
I see the cat that was for the Bastion.

04:14:41.360 --> 04:14:44.360
Good work for Admiral to almost avert disaster.

04:14:44.360 --> 04:14:48.360
Slay still chasing the Bastion down and basically solo's your cat.

04:14:48.360 --> 04:14:53.360
Jeff, I got scared with that slash perp being picked off.

04:14:53.360 --> 04:14:55.460
It's a barrel now.

04:14:55.460 --> 04:14:56.960
One game away, right?

04:14:56.960 --> 04:15:03.660
Getting into our playoff here at the eSports World Cup, our mid-season championship 4,

04:15:03.660 --> 04:15:04.660
OWCS.

04:15:04.660 --> 04:15:13.740
It's an SSG now back against the wall here, and do we may end up in a spot where we don't

04:15:13.740 --> 04:15:16.100
get any North American teams in the playoffs?

04:15:16.100 --> 04:15:21.060
It would be a sign of the times where that's gonna happen.

04:15:21.060 --> 04:15:22.560
SSG

04:15:22.560 --> 04:15:24.560
Very early on in this series

04:15:25.300 --> 04:15:32.140
Have been back to do a corner. I think our friend in the audience. They're trying to illustrate his desire trajectory for SSG

04:15:34.260 --> 04:15:38.520
Stuff to choose to crowd favorites pork looked extremely

04:15:39.260 --> 04:15:42.780
unhappy after that. But Christopher here obviously, uh, I

04:15:43.500 --> 04:15:45.500
Have quite a veteran at this point

04:15:45.500 --> 04:15:50.500
Someone who's been at the helm of some of the most compelling Overwatch franchises.

04:15:50.500 --> 04:15:54.500
He's run with the Ultimates though I think had left a little bit to be desired in 2025,

04:15:54.500 --> 04:15:56.500
but getting another crack at it here with SSG.

04:15:56.500 --> 04:16:00.500
Yeah, I mean that just seemed like a bad situation for everybody.

04:16:00.500 --> 04:16:07.500
Yeah, everybody's kind of gone on after that, you know, stint and seen success.

04:16:07.500 --> 04:16:12.500
It's just, hey, they saw success before, they didn't obviously have it together,

04:16:12.500 --> 04:16:15.660
have it together and then you know post stuff is everybody's kind of moved on I

04:16:15.660 --> 04:16:21.780
know it had some better times but Christmas always very work it's fun

04:16:21.780 --> 04:16:25.500
concept with him he's often often speaks to OWTV for example or other

04:16:25.500 --> 04:16:30.340
outlets he's most very frank about the struggles that his teams go through and

04:16:30.340 --> 04:16:34.100
he did feel like even though he was being gifted an opportunity he did you know

04:16:34.100 --> 04:16:38.220
continue to develop though at the last name in North America he had no

04:16:38.220 --> 04:16:41.580
their shortage of challenges to fight stop you.

04:16:41.580 --> 04:16:45.060
Yeah, I mean, look, obviously backs against the wall here

04:16:45.060 --> 04:16:47.340
for SSG against barrel.

04:16:48.500 --> 04:16:50.900
Team Liquid, they are out the hands

04:16:50.900 --> 04:16:53.180
of their North American partners, the Dallas Fuel,

04:16:53.180 --> 04:16:55.180
but it's not over for Dallas Fuel just yet.

04:16:55.180 --> 04:16:59.180
They will have to face Virtus.Pro to try and make it out.

04:16:59.180 --> 04:17:02.300
Who VP obviously are number one seed for me and me.

04:17:02.300 --> 04:17:03.860
They fall a little bit earlier in the day

04:17:03.860 --> 04:17:08.020
that's twisted minds, but still not an opponent.

04:17:08.020 --> 04:17:10.500
you would want to see. He's still a very strong team.

04:17:12.500 --> 04:17:14.020
Still lethal on camera there for a moment.

04:17:14.020 --> 04:17:18.900
Normally, he is the happy-go-lucky, the jokester of the team.

04:17:19.780 --> 04:17:22.020
But when the rubber hits the road, he tends to lock in,

04:17:22.020 --> 04:17:25.260
and this is an uncomfortable spot to find yourselves.

04:17:25.260 --> 04:17:26.460
And since you would have come out here

04:17:26.460 --> 04:17:29.780
to the mid-season championship, hoping for a pathway

04:17:29.780 --> 04:17:32.740
into playoffs that felt manageable, felt doable.

04:17:33.740 --> 04:17:36.180
This is one of them, I think.

04:17:36.180 --> 04:17:41.180
However, they're uncomfortable being in a do-or-die position pretty early on in the piece.

04:17:41.180 --> 04:17:43.180
And Newtruck City is going to be there at map selection.

04:17:44.180 --> 04:17:49.180
It feels like they want to play some rush, right? Maybe like Ramatra. They want to get into the mix.

04:17:49.180 --> 04:17:54.180
We'll see what the ban is here for SSG. It is going to be the Jetpack Cat's Sleigh.

04:17:54.180 --> 04:17:59.180
Two nasty on that. The Maga gone as well, so...

04:18:00.180 --> 04:18:05.180
I think if you are Varyl, obviously the Jetpack Cat is a big loss here.

04:18:06.180 --> 04:18:14.180
What? You know, you played a lot of the Rematra there, you can also play the D.Va, you can just kind of match those heroes.

04:18:15.180 --> 04:18:18.180
Top Dragon continuing to play the Tracer, you feel fine.

04:18:18.180 --> 04:18:24.180
Yeah, you're just not going to, you know, ban that one, I want to make sure that Free wants to be in that position as well.

04:18:24.180 --> 04:18:27.180
Let's see our partner, Skins Revealed.

04:18:27.180 --> 04:18:28.180
Yeah.

04:18:28.180 --> 04:18:31.180
Talked about that earlier on, and yeah, the same team pets represented there as well is great.

04:18:31.180 --> 04:18:34.180
Some of them look apt, or they all look absolutely phenomenal, frankly.

04:18:34.180 --> 04:18:39.320
So he said she'd buy in us all each one bundled that's good. I'll ask me for the true supply block personally

04:18:39.320 --> 04:18:42.180
Yeah, that's right. I'm gonna come in on that

04:18:43.540 --> 04:18:45.540
Couple up that order real quick. Yeah, sir

04:18:46.940 --> 04:18:52.020
Ultra violet I think got a bit of a shock and that first round of Samoa

04:18:52.540 --> 04:18:57.980
You just started fighting cloud randomly honor the honor across the map and lost hard

04:18:59.220 --> 04:19:01.220
And you never get back into the game

04:19:01.220 --> 04:19:06.460
without the jetpack that gone though right a lot of really nice plays they were setting

04:19:06.460 --> 04:19:12.200
up were like sleigh and top dragon as you know gonna go on these blanks really made

04:19:12.200 --> 04:19:19.980
them legal like difficult you know top dragon can obviously play sim sim woo young would

04:19:19.980 --> 04:19:28.300
be an interesting one a tricest switch after the fact surely probably you just need title

04:19:28.300 --> 04:19:33.300
last deliveries. Interesting that they're going to come out and play the

04:19:33.300 --> 04:19:36.460
Orisa. I feel like we haven't seen many people play the Orisa if you're gonna have

04:19:36.460 --> 04:19:40.300
this map. It's like you know we see obviously a lot of Moga when he's in

04:19:40.300 --> 04:19:43.660
but they're even sick we see pretty prevalent on this map. I wonder what

04:19:43.660 --> 04:19:47.900
SSG sees in this Orisa pick. It's tough. The Hawker feels like it's pretty

04:19:47.900 --> 04:19:52.900
hard to intervene if your top dragon is going to run into their backline. The

04:19:52.900 --> 04:19:56.940
Leni Shion though might be a nice piece of this puzzle. He's forced to make those

04:19:56.940 --> 04:19:58.940
Get on his bike, get on out of there.

04:19:58.940 --> 04:20:00.940
Now she just gets caught, yeah.

04:20:00.940 --> 04:20:01.940
Oops.

04:20:01.940 --> 04:20:05.940
I just claimed that he was going to go past her a bunch and ignore her, but then doubled back.

04:20:05.940 --> 04:20:09.940
Yeah, and it's a nice spear that goes right into KSG, and I know it hits him on the wall,

04:20:09.940 --> 04:20:12.940
and Sugarfree's here to put some damage down in as well.

04:20:13.940 --> 04:20:14.940
Oh, okay.

04:20:14.940 --> 04:20:16.940
He's there, well, sugarfree.

04:20:16.940 --> 04:20:18.940
Better looks here for Space Station Gany.

04:20:18.940 --> 04:20:23.940
But the second round of Samoa also looked like this, and they lost that grip as time went on.

04:20:23.940 --> 04:20:26.500
It's a case you'll actually match the Orisa here a

04:20:27.580 --> 04:20:32.860
Lot of poke damage with this we onion play for barrel. Yeah, we said they're normally love

04:20:34.340 --> 04:20:35.620
Yeah

04:20:35.620 --> 04:20:43.660
Sojourn and we don't could be powerful in some instances on some platforms up dragon as well working as late for the Paul spot

04:20:43.660 --> 04:20:46.180
We thought how that impactful was on some mowa

04:20:47.620 --> 04:20:49.620
Okay, she'll move up here

04:20:50.260 --> 04:20:53.540
Taking their time moving through the choke. That's gonna be the slide out here

04:20:53.940 --> 04:20:55.940
some lethal already.

04:20:55.940 --> 04:20:59.540
Yeah, it doesn't get anything, but it's gonna be Slay coming in though with an extra damage.

04:20:59.540 --> 04:21:01.740
And that's just the intangibles you can't always count on.

04:21:01.740 --> 04:21:05.740
Bringing your wugung player into your game and having them be able to get those first fixes.

04:21:06.740 --> 04:21:09.340
Yeah, pretty magical if you can play off of it.

04:21:09.340 --> 04:21:11.340
Even if it did go down.

04:21:11.340 --> 04:21:13.740
Or Gavilan's gonna try and cut forward those.

04:21:13.740 --> 04:21:15.140
A blip from Barrel that already had a curve.

04:21:15.140 --> 04:21:19.540
And Ultima is gonna go to the backline of Barrel hasn't really generated their ultimates yet.

04:21:19.540 --> 04:21:23.340
Or why is he identifying a window which KSG is very much alone?

04:21:23.940 --> 04:21:30.520
I mean, with that Katsune rush right when you're playing SSG inside of it, you can be a little bit more aggressive.

04:21:30.520 --> 04:21:36.460
SKSG was already about half HP at that moment in time. Hawke moves on up. They feel like there's a target here.

04:21:36.460 --> 04:21:40.980
They can maybe try and stagger out to deny them from touching the point on the opposite side.

04:21:40.980 --> 04:21:47.380
It looks like it's going to be 0.1 here on Newtrun City going to SSG.

04:21:47.380 --> 04:21:51.940
It'll be Niko now going over and playing Supraia. So we've seen more and more Freya throughout this event.

04:21:51.940 --> 04:21:55.240
Can constantly put some pressure down onto the Orisa, right?

04:21:55.240 --> 04:22:00.240
Obviously a Bokkian or mid-season patch to Freya for the primary fire.

04:22:00.940 --> 04:22:03.940
So you're just gonna get a little bit more consistent damage output.

04:22:04.240 --> 04:22:06.940
Yeah, like you don't lose out on poke, but you also give yourself...

04:22:06.940 --> 04:22:10.440
Look at that vertical mobility that's quite potent against flankers.

04:22:11.140 --> 04:22:14.240
Niko hopes you can glide away from sugar-free pretty consistently.

04:22:14.440 --> 04:22:16.940
Especially if there's a spree at the ready.

04:22:16.940 --> 04:22:21.280
Top Dragon, when he's waiting for the backfire, but it's going to be a sound, they're in out of space station,

04:22:21.280 --> 04:22:24.680
maybe Sleigh might have to deal with Admiral here, but he gives a good account of himself.

04:22:24.680 --> 04:22:29.620
Top Dragon back to the point, KSG is low, but Admiral has a drop, title blast, knocked out,

04:22:29.620 --> 04:22:32.840
could be big here, and Sugarfree falls by the wayside.

04:22:32.840 --> 04:22:37.640
A pole stick there would have been massive, but now Top Dragon's still going to have to go after leaving the old fashioned way,

04:22:37.640 --> 04:22:40.640
but there's plenty of bullets in the pulse pistols to get the job done.

04:22:40.640 --> 04:22:48.880
Yes, the point has not been taken yet either here by SSG, so they get off to a good start getting rid of KSG on the other side, but

04:22:49.720 --> 04:22:55.660
Now it's gonna be barrel battling back into this fight both teams gonna be very close to full strain. You're just missing UV here

04:22:56.120 --> 04:22:59.920
That was gonna back out not gonna decide to fight this without that fury

04:22:59.920 --> 04:23:03.520
It also looked like Hawks look a ton of poke damage trying to walk up there

04:23:04.640 --> 04:23:09.440
At that point SSG's different like going for it again. Lucio shooting back twice, Hanoway's humiliate those

04:23:09.440 --> 04:23:13.440
Wow, that's a huge tank. I mean, out of nowhere.

04:23:13.440 --> 04:23:17.440
Walked out to find a Javelin connection on Top Dragon, and now means the PlayStation is backfiring.

04:23:17.440 --> 04:23:20.440
It's kind of chilly. It really gives him a lot of flexibility.

04:23:20.440 --> 04:23:24.440
It means like Ultra Violet, Admiral can actually go to the small address he plays, the Terrasurge,

04:23:24.440 --> 04:23:27.440
the PSG, and you've bought a bit of time. That's about it.

04:23:30.440 --> 04:23:34.440
I'll cheer for Top Dragon, so they'll keep this one rolling for just a brief period of time.

04:23:34.440 --> 04:23:39.440
I have not loved the Orisa here from Varyl.

04:23:39.440 --> 04:23:42.440
It seems like obviously SSG has piloted this comp.

04:23:42.440 --> 04:23:43.440
A decent amount.

04:23:43.440 --> 04:23:46.440
There will be more changes for Varyl as it will be

04:23:46.440 --> 04:23:49.440
Top Dragon going over and matching the Shea on here.

04:23:49.440 --> 04:23:50.440
All of the Sugar Breed.

04:23:50.440 --> 04:23:55.440
Feels like KSG, this main IV is kind of a comfort zone here playing the Orisa.

04:23:55.440 --> 04:23:59.440
And seeing how the first map went, I think that Hope trying to put himself in a position to win his tank matchup

04:23:59.440 --> 04:24:02.440
is going to be a victory for Spacestation Gaming.

04:24:02.440 --> 04:24:06.440
Okay, so I don't care how much he has to switch in order to try and find an edge there.

04:24:08.440 --> 04:24:10.440
You're going to have to be around with the bullet shots.

04:24:10.440 --> 04:24:12.440
And his disposal.

04:24:12.440 --> 04:24:15.440
Very wide angle of play here, but he connects on these explosive bolts!

04:24:15.440 --> 04:24:20.440
Ultramarature, had a Suzu there, so no 100 foul for space station gaming.

04:24:20.440 --> 04:24:23.440
And the Suzu rush is going to be deployed, it's going to reduce that Suzu cooldown as well,

04:24:23.440 --> 04:24:27.440
but also the H-Cup for the rest of the team is pretty important.

04:24:27.440 --> 04:24:29.440
We're out of last. Where we going with this one?

04:24:29.440 --> 04:24:31.440
Niko runs all down.

04:24:31.440 --> 04:24:33.440
Okay, there's the pick on the Orisa.

04:24:33.440 --> 04:24:35.440
That means KSG's got a bit of room to breathe.

04:24:35.440 --> 04:24:38.440
The SSG red 92% and counting now.

04:24:38.440 --> 04:24:40.440
Niko and Top Dragon are gone.

04:24:40.440 --> 04:24:42.440
Yeah, KSG though still on the point.

04:24:42.440 --> 04:24:44.440
You have Slay coming in here as well.

04:24:44.440 --> 04:24:46.440
Cloud alive too.

04:24:46.440 --> 04:24:47.440
What?

04:24:47.440 --> 04:24:49.440
SSG with two both supports rounds the corner.

04:24:49.440 --> 04:24:51.440
Letting him win that 1v1 big time.

04:24:51.440 --> 04:24:53.440
Yeah, he's got that execute.

04:24:53.440 --> 04:24:54.440
Nice.

04:24:54.440 --> 04:24:56.440
Huge two all here in favor of SSG.

04:24:56.440 --> 04:24:58.440
ASG

04:24:58.440 --> 04:25:01.440
Varyl had just not had the answer for this comp

04:25:03.440 --> 04:25:06.440
ASG vs. Geography for the Flashpoint

04:25:06.440 --> 04:25:08.440
the former

04:25:08.440 --> 04:25:10.440
now that he was here was alive though

04:25:13.440 --> 04:25:16.440
You see how big the Jetpack cap ban is

04:25:16.440 --> 04:25:17.440
for Varyl

04:25:17.440 --> 04:25:19.440
right now having a sleigh

04:25:19.440 --> 04:25:22.440
being able to kind of work those flanks with Top Dragon

04:25:22.440 --> 04:25:25.440
allows UD and Admiral to breathe

04:25:25.440 --> 04:25:28.520
If it's a tire or a leaf, they're not under so much pressure.

04:25:28.520 --> 04:25:29.820
It's leveled the playing field.

04:25:29.820 --> 04:25:32.740
There's been a couple of windows in which the title blast has been quite effective,

04:25:32.740 --> 04:25:37.280
but none of the really outright one team fights like Jetpack now has been able to.

04:25:40.280 --> 04:25:41.280
Beat for Admiral.

04:25:41.780 --> 04:25:43.280
No, like, yeah.

04:25:43.280 --> 04:25:46.480
Again, no ultimate to really match Beech on the side of Barrel.

04:25:46.880 --> 04:25:48.620
Consideration is okay, but again,

04:25:48.620 --> 04:25:51.180
he needs to be able to get that healing output of Slayz just found here on his own,

04:25:51.180 --> 04:25:52.620
but it's gonna be a spree from Topfrager.

04:25:52.620 --> 04:25:57.020
More! And that came from! I broke it a little bit too close to the blender!

04:25:58.020 --> 04:26:00.720
Oh, hooks off the map. I think we learned the spot was probably over this.

04:26:00.720 --> 04:26:03.920
Where's this G? We're only gonna get a third of that last flashpoint.

04:26:03.920 --> 04:26:08.420
Yeah, Leafle on a flank there. They actually see Slay. They kind of catch Slay out, right?

04:26:08.420 --> 04:26:11.820
I mean, they put a few shots into him, and then they push up.

04:26:11.820 --> 04:26:16.420
They just don't probably expect TopDragon to be sitting on top of him there, getting ready to spree.

04:26:16.420 --> 04:26:22.420
Any really fault SSG for that is they're still in a great spot.

04:26:22.420 --> 04:26:26.420
Meryl ended up taking the lead, but SSG 5-0 for the tier to work with,

04:26:26.420 --> 04:26:33.420
and Meryl is down a support there as Slay, without that jetpacked hand mobility on the Wuyang,

04:26:33.420 --> 04:26:35.420
much easier to pick out.

04:26:35.420 --> 04:26:39.420
Oh, it leaves a lot of capacity as well, really does feel like PB and J4.

04:26:39.420 --> 04:26:43.420
Space station gaming man, he is depth-standing on this pig, it hawked down.

04:26:43.420 --> 04:26:52.800
Handles Niko, captivating, Terrasurge pursues the durability, KC's gonna respond, they look pretty charged, one but all has the beat from Admiral.

04:26:52.800 --> 04:26:59.160
Very well apportioned for a situation like this and no analog to that on Barrel's side, it's Spice Station back in control.

04:26:59.160 --> 04:27:06.660
Yeah, and Sly all the way back, trying to make a play towards the end of that fight, maybe seeing if he can get back there, kinda contribute to his team.

04:27:06.660 --> 04:27:14.580
Ends up just getting staggered out so the up off the respawn now tracer and sojourn back here for Varl

04:27:15.780 --> 04:27:22.140
No changes in the support line. No changes in terms of KSG in a while. It feels like they kind of need to match

04:27:22.820 --> 04:27:27.940
You know the Orisa at least and then slay obviously playing a different brand of overwatch here on the wheel

04:27:28.980 --> 04:27:32.500
The last fight for Varl and need to find some edge now

04:27:32.500 --> 04:27:37.500
Now, on Space Station Gaming, who is sitting on this Kitsune Russian, ready to roll with the first to the dead eye though.

04:27:38.500 --> 04:27:43.500
Presentry's exchanged with no time to spare for Barrel, they've got to get a touch in a moment, Kitsune rush down for Ultra Violet,

04:27:43.500 --> 04:27:48.500
legal free to run here on this low ground, concerned about a flank potential with their slay,

04:27:48.500 --> 04:27:50.500
Fully Hook, another champion set up for an elimination.

04:27:50.500 --> 04:27:56.500
Fancy on the point, get the Suzushi, the Screech for Sugarfree, levels, Barrel.

04:27:56.500 --> 04:28:01.340
dominant stuff here for space station gaming more than just a recovery it's a

04:28:01.340 --> 04:28:05.420
statement in that too. You get no use of that title blast there from Slay

04:28:05.420 --> 04:28:12.620
towards the end just goes for nothing. The SSG just dominates barrel there in

04:28:12.620 --> 04:28:19.860
map number two you really see without the jetpack cap in the mix right Slay

04:28:19.860 --> 04:28:23.820
trying to take these off angles trying to find some damage much easier to deal

04:28:23.820 --> 04:28:30.740
when you can just gonna use that always always in the skybox movement of jetpack that to get away

04:28:31.340 --> 04:28:33.340
much easier to check down on the wheel

04:28:35.820 --> 04:28:38.980
The Orissa mirror okay, she definitely didn't look comfortable

04:28:39.500 --> 04:28:45.620
But this is SSG trying to gain the system to favor them the jetpack that ban a selection of new junk city

04:28:46.060 --> 04:28:49.260
The rubble with losing control though means the decided map

04:28:49.860 --> 04:28:52.700
The way the bands go will fall to a barrel

04:28:52.700 --> 04:28:58.940
to take priority on. Yeah and I mean look you won't have to deal with the cat

04:28:58.940 --> 04:29:07.740
being gone that'll be back in play so not worried about that whatsoever. Definitely

04:29:07.740 --> 04:29:12.300
feels like that we're targeting you know top dragon's been good on the tracer so

04:29:12.300 --> 04:29:15.100
most likely not gonna be targeting you want to target the she on right you

04:29:15.100 --> 04:29:19.820
want to get your free you're gonna target the Orisa right. I don't know if you

04:29:19.820 --> 04:29:21.340
you want to see that at the PSG.

04:29:21.340 --> 04:29:23.100
I think depending on the map, right?

04:29:23.100 --> 04:29:26.780
It allows Hawk to be a little bit more proactive

04:29:26.780 --> 04:29:29.500
in actually taking things with his own hands.

04:29:29.500 --> 04:29:31.100
He doesn't just make space,

04:29:31.100 --> 04:29:33.340
he doesn't just stand there and provide his own

04:29:33.340 --> 04:29:35.300
for his DPS to operate,

04:29:35.300 --> 04:29:37.500
he sets up eliminations with these javelins,

04:29:37.500 --> 04:29:40.020
sometimes sees a window to push into a backline himself

04:29:40.020 --> 04:29:41.260
and I get the job done.

04:29:43.220 --> 04:29:44.700
Pressure is on though.

04:29:44.700 --> 04:29:46.340
He's got a map, that's fine.

04:29:46.340 --> 04:29:49.100
I mean, again, it's about how you recover

04:29:49.100 --> 04:29:54.300
from a rough start in a series, just this format doesn't really lend itself to

04:29:55.420 --> 04:29:59.580
comeback victories, sweeps necessarily because of how map selection works.

04:30:00.140 --> 04:30:03.740
And I mean, just a massive map for North American Overwatch, then

04:30:04.460 --> 04:30:11.260
I know also Japan, right? It's been kind of surging as I know a really, uh, an awesome spot for

04:30:11.260 --> 04:30:17.100
Overwatch, just the game and e-sports, obviously. Varo one of the fan favorites from that region.

04:30:17.100 --> 04:30:24.180
now wants to get into a playoff in the worst way and it's so interesting for

04:30:24.180 --> 04:30:28.100
them because where SSG come from a region that has been forging them and

04:30:28.100 --> 04:30:33.420
reciprocally then the rest of the region into contenders, Farrell doesn't really

04:30:33.420 --> 04:30:38.660
have that level of opposition at home. They dominated the Japan stage 2, they

04:30:38.660 --> 04:30:42.580
dominated the final, it was a sweep, they've had to look further afield to

04:30:42.580 --> 04:30:45.340
find scrim opponents. Fortunately geographically they're close enough

04:30:45.340 --> 04:30:51.840
China South Korea to get those kinds of scrims, but they can't level up simply by playing within their own region

04:30:51.840 --> 04:30:55.240
They don't have that luxury the space station. But Shembali

04:30:55.840 --> 04:30:57.960
Is the map selection really good?

04:30:58.280 --> 04:31:03.120
Yo cap fashion that right you see no, I know also just that being pretty effective here as well

04:31:04.680 --> 04:31:08.240
Hey, it'll be Cassidy the band here. You are baby

04:31:08.240 --> 04:31:11.320
I mean, Ana! Ana there, okay.

04:31:11.320 --> 04:31:16.040
So this denies you one of the options for dealing with JetBadCat?

04:31:16.040 --> 04:31:21.420
Just because Ana is, you know, pretty uncomfortable to run into a sideline to this cat that can take like 70 or something,

04:31:21.420 --> 04:31:23.660
we thought you'd play a ton of the Ana though early on.

04:31:23.660 --> 04:31:25.900
I mean, is he feeling bested by Cloud?

04:31:25.900 --> 04:31:27.840
Enough to want to ban it!

04:31:27.840 --> 04:31:31.020
I don't know. I mean, I think it's probably...

04:31:31.020 --> 04:31:39.660
You know, maybe you feel like the cat is not as effective if there is the puree in the mix, right?

04:31:39.660 --> 04:31:43.260
Cassidy is a great response to Bastion, right?

04:31:43.260 --> 04:31:44.760
Uh...

04:31:44.760 --> 04:31:53.760
Maybe there's like a, you know, like obviously we've seen UV play like Baptiste in the past, right?

04:31:53.760 --> 04:31:59.760
Maybe you feel like if you're gonna play like a SIG or a D.Va, you can play the BAP with it or even a MAGA, you can play the BAP with it, so...

04:31:59.760 --> 04:32:07.760
Now we see Stoney faces on the stage, but make no mistake, Farrill's road so far has been wrapped in emotion.

04:32:07.760 --> 04:32:15.760
The fans, how much it means to see their region represented at this level, to advance even further into the tournament will be something else than for the players.

04:32:15.760 --> 04:32:24.760
Just a vindication, the gratification of fighting success here against a team in Space Station who are a proven contender.

04:32:24.760 --> 04:32:30.960
It all comes down to shambali monastery folks with jetpack cat available in Anna band out

04:32:34.440 --> 04:32:36.600
Slay has been so good on the cat

04:32:38.320 --> 04:32:44.100
The barrel on offense here to kick things off actually on defense so we'll get that one sorted the top screen

04:32:45.440 --> 04:32:52.680
Yeah, be carry with the cat fashion the mix top dragon not gonna play trace are gonna play the she on here on D

04:32:52.680 --> 04:32:59.680
space station or are they gonna have to beat this or join this jet-pack-pack combination.

04:32:59.680 --> 04:33:02.680
So there are two ways about it.

04:33:02.680 --> 04:33:07.680
Niko's just gonna hide around the corner, gonna deny them a look at what he is playing,

04:33:07.680 --> 04:33:09.680
seeing the top drain.

04:33:09.680 --> 04:33:18.680
Niko, ASG, Cloud, five years as competitors in obscurity for the most part.

04:33:18.680 --> 04:33:22.000
There are opportunities to play on the world stage you

04:33:23.200 --> 04:33:25.200
Father tween

04:33:25.520 --> 04:33:30.560
I'm for a region defining results barrel have any say in the matter now

04:33:31.160 --> 04:33:32.920
the Orisa

04:33:32.920 --> 04:33:34.920
Obviously was really good against the rematcher

04:33:35.440 --> 04:33:39.080
Can the Orisa withstand the damage output of Bastion?

04:33:40.880 --> 04:33:42.380
He's gonna require

04:33:42.380 --> 04:33:45.860
Yeah, but I'm like you've called out on both sides. Yeah, I need to realize this

04:33:46.520 --> 04:33:50.780
Park is gonna take anything. He realizes that he's not the reason not to the level

04:33:52.300 --> 04:33:54.500
Okay, now go in state, okay

04:33:57.220 --> 04:34:01.620
All for all and last point oriented than the sigma option would have been

04:34:02.860 --> 04:34:05.980
But some point you see space station gaming day will need

04:34:06.780 --> 04:34:10.140
Don't need to start this up. They'll need to be the instigators here

04:34:10.140 --> 04:34:22.140
KSG is waiting down for the big islander to appear, there's the stop from Torch coming on in, but Sugarfree is actually blowing through the rings before the fucking truity begins and that's devastating!

04:34:22.140 --> 04:34:26.140
Got to the low ground now and there was just form protecting KSG to some degree.

04:34:26.140 --> 04:34:29.140
They do get to my ground here for SSG.

04:34:29.140 --> 04:34:34.140
We're gonna have Sugarfree coming on the spawn here as well, it's gonna be quite awkward for KSG.

04:34:34.140 --> 04:34:35.140
Where's he gonna go?

04:34:35.140 --> 04:34:40.580
Oh, he's just got nowhere to be. Can make you catch the alive. He's so deep in enemy territory, but yes, somehow he's still standing.

04:34:40.580 --> 04:34:43.980
Slay, no, to go down first means to pick me up KSG.

04:34:44.980 --> 04:34:45.780
His elementary.

04:34:47.780 --> 04:34:53.820
They grab, they take high ground, they do end up losing sugar for you, but quick swap to Tracer gets right back into the mix.

04:34:54.980 --> 04:35:00.900
And you just put KSG in such a weird spot. Doesn't have that survivability once thems is formed. No shield is available.

04:35:00.900 --> 04:35:05.060
He'll start. Now, switching over to the Maga here.

04:35:07.620 --> 04:35:09.860
The Estes often wanted to mirror Hawk.

04:35:11.060 --> 04:35:14.980
But didn't we work out for didn't look as great on Fearus? How's his Maga gonna be?

04:35:16.260 --> 04:35:17.780
Think I might be getting over the top here.

04:35:17.780 --> 04:35:19.140
No grenade thrown out.

04:35:19.140 --> 04:35:21.220
Should the priest spot it to hold in dodging?

04:35:21.220 --> 04:35:23.220
Will he force the maybe more passive of the time being?

04:35:23.220 --> 04:35:25.460
Stop, come on in, he goes in the thick of things here!

04:35:25.460 --> 04:35:28.500
Cardiac overdrive, by the mean of account for the vasting and burst damage

04:35:28.500 --> 04:35:33.600
Ultraviolet's found by Slay, so a trade of jetpack cats as Cloud gets rid of Admiral.

04:35:33.600 --> 04:35:35.700
Juga3 here, Philly, but I'm comfortable.

04:35:35.700 --> 04:35:37.940
Because he doesn't even want to replay around, it's gonna have to be solo,

04:35:37.940 --> 04:35:41.300
it's gonna have to be a big post-op here in these close quarter environs,

04:35:41.300 --> 04:35:43.500
but Nibbik gets a chance to deploy it.

04:35:43.500 --> 04:35:45.500
Not the worst though for SSG.

04:35:45.500 --> 04:35:49.500
That's Cloud that ends up using it, gets Unibrush a little bit later towards the end of that fight,

04:35:49.500 --> 04:35:53.500
when they had like a 3 on 3, 3v2 scenario, so...

04:35:53.500 --> 04:35:56.000
It would have been a huge ultimate moving forward.

04:35:56.000 --> 04:35:57.500
There's a lot of ultimate super spice there.

04:35:57.500 --> 04:35:59.500
and obviously all of them.

04:35:59.500 --> 04:36:03.500
It takes one good chat mapping though to unravel this.

04:36:03.500 --> 04:36:05.500
Leave him go to go for an ult of his own,

04:36:05.500 --> 04:36:08.500
just to see if he can go dust stochin' for someone who's thought all of these to pick up sleigh.

04:36:08.500 --> 04:36:11.500
He's got someone ult'ed by the pick-up Suzes himself,

04:36:11.500 --> 04:36:13.500
and eventually KSG turns around to address the Kiri,

04:36:13.500 --> 04:36:16.500
but ult'ed by them to get away and drop down the Katsune right now.

04:36:16.500 --> 04:36:18.500
Horde was the push-up seed. KSG a little bit low.

04:36:18.500 --> 04:36:23.500
KSG will be waiting for him. The Bastion seems like a great catch.

04:36:23.500 --> 04:36:25.500
I don't know KSG if he's gonna get away with this.

04:36:25.500 --> 04:36:28.540
Of course he is unstoppable, and wasn't tended initially.

04:36:28.540 --> 04:36:32.100
Devon walks through the cage, now pushing up, top dragon down,

04:36:32.100 --> 04:36:34.060
postbox throw to the top corner, didn't find a result,

04:36:34.060 --> 04:36:37.700
it's legal, starts to cut a bloody swath through them.

04:36:39.540 --> 04:36:43.380
An absolute must win fight there for SSG.

04:36:43.380 --> 04:36:45.500
They have all five ultimates, they decide to kind of

04:36:45.500 --> 04:36:47.900
spend them all, it's a nice Uju here,

04:36:47.900 --> 04:36:50.380
kind of protects the legal right at the start.

04:36:50.380 --> 04:36:52.980
The stun comes out on top of them.

04:36:52.980 --> 04:36:58.260
Just gonna keep on firing on that Bastion, trust that the rest of the team is gonna keep him up straight.

04:36:59.140 --> 04:37:02.500
Reaper now for both sides to answer this Moga.

04:37:07.220 --> 04:37:08.660
Thanks for sitting on the cage, guys.

04:37:09.380 --> 04:37:10.900
At least we got a top of ultimate.

04:37:10.900 --> 04:37:12.420
Yeah, back to backpipes.

04:37:12.420 --> 04:37:12.920
Yep.

04:37:13.380 --> 04:37:17.700
Now wait to start things off, but tough to pin this old hop down. Hard to find a lead to kill there.

04:37:18.660 --> 04:37:19.860
It's like you're on fire or something.

04:37:19.860 --> 04:37:21.060
Another E to KSG too.

04:37:22.980 --> 04:37:28.020
Happy Grapple, who's the target's supposed to be. He's taken someone out of the fight, but now he needs to get there and help Horde.

04:37:28.020 --> 04:37:34.460
Major always eventually dealt with Horde, had him pinned at the corner of the top dragon, now at the side of him he wants to answer the Malga threat with a chance of picking the Reaper.

04:37:36.700 --> 04:37:41.020
They don't log, obviously very difficult to deal with while inside of the Kitsune rush.

04:37:41.020 --> 04:37:52.180
Reaper, probably even tougher. Nice catnap there, gonna actually grab Sugar Free away, and then gonna just alert Leeson, go there, slay on the offensive.

04:37:52.180 --> 04:37:54.580
This is why you won the Jetpack Cat Fan.

04:37:55.380 --> 04:37:58.780
When you play against Varyl, so nasty on this hero.

04:38:00.480 --> 04:38:03.180
Nice cat-nap then goes on through, takes out two players.

04:38:03.180 --> 04:38:07.480
Yeah, sugar-feed really depends on being within striking distance of a lot of his front liners,

04:38:07.480 --> 04:38:09.980
where he's sustained and also just a... do his job.

04:38:10.480 --> 04:38:11.680
Varyl's already out of there, he's up.

04:38:11.680 --> 04:38:12.880
Almost two minutes here.

04:38:13.180 --> 04:38:14.180
At this part of the map.

04:38:15.180 --> 04:38:16.680
One minute forty remains.

04:38:16.680 --> 04:38:23.100
First thing Bank of Ultimates for Space Station Gaming is building and I have a chance to use

04:38:23.100 --> 04:38:24.740
Ultimates before the game is over.

04:38:24.740 --> 04:38:30.180
Stop early, spot for the rush, got to be a cage type outflowed on in the Death Blossom

04:38:30.180 --> 04:38:31.180
there.

04:38:31.180 --> 04:38:32.680
Go from top drag and just cut short.

04:38:32.680 --> 04:38:38.060
Sugarfree has dealt with him and Space Station Gaming can take a bunch of Ultimates into the

04:38:38.060 --> 04:38:42.680
next fight which is going to be the last for this stage of the map if it's an SSG win.

04:38:42.680 --> 04:38:50.480
Yeah, and you don't get anything with your cage or death blossom. KSG just dropped instantly there by Hawke.

04:38:50.480 --> 04:38:53.680
Artillery here, gonna try and buy some time.

04:38:53.680 --> 04:38:59.680
Or Varyl, gonna get out and get a touch. It feels like they need a miracle in this fight.

04:38:59.680 --> 04:39:03.680
I tried here, Trashly, so we don't know what you're looking at the map right now. There's Juggerbrot with two!

04:39:03.680 --> 04:39:08.680
Slaidnikov picked up here in case he's got no reason not to try and dive the backline.

04:39:08.680 --> 04:39:12.680
That's Varel taking down an SSG as we almost

04:39:12.680 --> 04:39:15.680
Intuitive with all of those ultimate table just to steamroll

04:39:15.680 --> 04:39:20.680
Yeah, I mean Varel would have needed a miracle to win that fight and it did not happen

04:39:20.680 --> 04:39:23.680
It's a SSG. This will be tough though, right?

04:39:23.680 --> 04:39:26.680
You've now kind of, you know, you have nothing to work with here

04:39:26.680 --> 04:39:29.680
You're kind of just dumped all your ultimates in

04:39:29.680 --> 04:39:32.680
A minute fifty-five

04:39:32.680 --> 04:39:35.680
You might be looking at a fighter super SSG that

04:39:35.680 --> 04:39:40.360
that, you know, are quite rough, you know, with obviously Varyl having an advantage, but

04:39:40.360 --> 04:39:46.760
then, you know, squads are over time, maybe 20, 30 seconds, that's when SSG can make a

04:39:46.760 --> 04:39:54.760
run. Still kind of works, man. And I wouldn't say there's no need to hurry, but I actually

04:39:54.760 --> 04:39:58.680
still have to quite hit that fever pitch, yes. Cloud and Slay can have both used his

04:39:58.680 --> 04:40:02.840
It's now space station. You probably have it just to let this play out. It's just drawn up

04:40:05.480 --> 04:40:10.880
Yeah, I mean look you're you don't have anything to work with may have the kids you neighbor. I should just kind of fall over your mug

04:40:11.880 --> 04:40:17.920
There's no reason just kind of keep throwing bodies into the meat grinder there and just give them more all charges

04:40:18.560 --> 04:40:20.560
Miko

04:40:21.480 --> 04:40:23.480
Susan was gonna be met though

04:40:23.480 --> 04:40:25.160
And they can't quite get to a lethal in time.

04:40:25.160 --> 04:40:27.600
That damnit has not paid off the barrel.

04:40:27.600 --> 04:40:29.720
I love the pluckiness to go, so that kind of play.

04:40:29.720 --> 04:40:31.840
Can they follow it up now with this dive into the front line?

04:40:31.840 --> 04:40:34.000
Yes, it's KSG in top dragon.

04:40:34.000 --> 04:40:36.160
We do achieve results, but eventually we'll

04:40:36.160 --> 04:40:38.000
be shut down by space-facing gaming.

04:40:38.000 --> 04:40:41.720
Yes, it's a truncated roster that's on the cart.

04:40:41.720 --> 04:40:45.400
But still, progress is being made in 40-second left.

04:40:45.400 --> 04:40:48.120
Yeah, that flank for a barrel felt slightly unnecessary,

04:40:48.120 --> 04:40:50.120
right, especially where they were at the moment

04:40:50.120 --> 04:40:52.240
in terms of ultimate economy.

04:40:52.240 --> 04:40:56.620
They've also allowed SSG to farm up these support ultimates. It'll be an artillery here.

04:40:56.620 --> 04:40:59.440
Only Rakewalk forced out a top dragon. It could be massive.

04:40:59.440 --> 04:41:01.940
KSG can't fight. He's taking too much poke damage to top dragon.

04:41:01.940 --> 04:41:03.140
He's got nowhere to go!

04:41:03.140 --> 04:41:07.240
Not only Rakewalk forced his huge ultimator presses down. Right where it hurts!

04:41:07.240 --> 04:41:10.440
Now! H5 here for Hork. This could end the game now.

04:41:10.440 --> 04:41:12.740
But Super Free did get taken down on the periphery.

04:41:12.740 --> 04:41:16.440
Can't nothing though. Info-Admiral is trying to get him with some shielding at least again.

04:41:16.440 --> 04:41:17.940
That'll be enough.

04:41:17.940 --> 04:41:21.740
Oh boy. KSG eventually is felled.

04:41:21.740 --> 04:41:24.280
SSG finished with time to spare.

04:41:25.500 --> 04:41:29.500
I believe they finished like two or three seconds left on the clock, so...

04:41:30.400 --> 04:41:33.200
massive for SSG.

04:41:33.980 --> 04:41:38.800
Felt like that's her barrel, maybe their aggression kind of bit them a little bit there, right?

04:41:38.800 --> 04:41:44.080
They kind of played so aggressive towards the end, up that map where...

04:41:45.580 --> 04:41:49.080
No, they were doing a nice job just kind of playing the clock.

04:41:49.080 --> 04:41:58.080
Nico and Slay going on one of those kind of ranks that Varel loves to do and they just get hit hard one by one.

04:41:58.080 --> 04:42:01.080
I mean it's gameplay that oozes personality, right?

04:42:01.080 --> 04:42:10.080
The space station are a pretty stable roster, they've got the capacity in a pinch to adapt to that kind of thing, to respond, make the right choice.

04:42:10.080 --> 04:42:17.080
They end up winning that previous fight with two players, they get a bunch of extra progress and then they cycle back into their bank of ultimates.

04:42:17.080 --> 04:42:20.080
I'm able to close things out. Still very competitive stuff.

04:42:20.080 --> 04:42:25.080
8 deaths for Niko though. That's like kind of like a jump shot at me right off the rip.

04:42:25.080 --> 04:42:31.080
That is really high from your hitscan. He's getting a decent amount of support right, you know, Slay?

04:42:31.080 --> 04:42:35.080
Kind of escorting him around the map on the Bastion as well.

04:42:35.080 --> 04:42:40.080
I mean, look at like lethal, right? Almost 12k damage, like 11,200.

04:42:40.080 --> 04:42:45.080
I think Niko off the top of my head was around like 8k plus 8 deaths.

04:42:45.080 --> 04:42:52.080
It's not a great first half for Nico and Barrel, but still obviously in this game.

04:42:52.080 --> 04:42:55.080
Let's see how this Reaper plays into the Ziva Con.

04:42:55.080 --> 04:43:00.080
Superhero might have been expecting a Malgros to be similar, but Barrel just want the flexibility.

04:43:00.080 --> 04:43:05.080
Okay, we are switching back to the Malgros.

04:43:05.080 --> 04:43:08.080
Please, sugar bron, I'm sure.

04:43:08.080 --> 04:43:13.080
A lot of other factors though, you have to consider, and already some defensive points are underway.

04:43:13.080 --> 04:43:15.080
He's peeking up.

04:43:15.080 --> 04:43:16.580
Beautiful crowding.

04:43:16.580 --> 04:43:17.580
Wheels mode.

04:43:17.580 --> 04:43:18.580
Hands off pretty quickly, though.

04:43:18.580 --> 04:43:20.580
It's how I get a disengage up onto the stairwell

04:43:20.580 --> 04:43:24.580
and use that Susan to pad their retreat.

04:43:24.580 --> 04:43:26.580
It's a good spot for a barrel, though, right?

04:43:26.580 --> 04:43:29.080
You're going to force SSG off of this high ground

04:43:29.080 --> 04:43:31.580
to play from that offensive side.

04:43:31.580 --> 04:43:34.580
This is how SSG broke it open on their offense, this first point.

04:43:34.580 --> 04:43:36.580
It's a bit of a sharp sight line for the Bastion up

04:43:36.580 --> 04:43:37.580
with that high ground there.

04:43:37.580 --> 04:43:39.080
I don't know how long this is going to be.

04:43:39.080 --> 04:43:40.080
Yeah, he can't stay there forever.

04:43:40.080 --> 04:43:42.580
This time it's the Jetpack tacticarian forward.

04:43:42.580 --> 04:43:46.020
If they're looking at targets that are more satisfied to shoot than the Malga,

04:43:46.020 --> 04:43:51.220
RAPMETI, his face-tation disengaged by nicely announced their turn to wager something.

04:43:52.340 --> 04:43:55.940
Oh, they've gotten their side of the map in high ground packs, so

04:43:55.940 --> 04:44:00.420
both teams just kind of rotating around each other, just trying for this high ground instead of a destroyer.

04:44:00.420 --> 04:44:03.940
And I think if you're SSG, you're more than happy to play these games.

04:44:03.940 --> 04:44:08.260
To get locked in a stalemate here as the defender is AOK.

04:44:08.260 --> 04:44:12.020
Quadraget also is brought to heal, but KSG.

04:44:12.020 --> 04:44:14.660
Seven reciprocate Hawks efforts and deal with Weakle.

04:44:15.460 --> 04:44:16.660
Richard trying to see it.

04:44:16.660 --> 04:44:21.300
Tancy trying to really take it plain to a disposition and now we have a Malga caught by Slade.

04:44:22.020 --> 04:44:25.140
And Hawke is held a lot so Cloud can pick him up to see the rush easy

04:44:25.140 --> 04:44:26.420
in action here at the Space Station.

04:44:26.420 --> 04:44:30.180
Jamie, but without the frontline attack this could be a tough ask.

04:44:31.380 --> 04:44:36.420
There's Admiral getting out there just kind of contesting for a brief second.

04:44:38.820 --> 04:44:41.140
I think Varel set up pretty well here in the train.

04:44:42.020 --> 04:44:43.520
cage spring

04:44:43.520 --> 04:44:47.720
For this next fight UV obviously uses a rush so you don't have that available

04:44:49.960 --> 04:44:51.960
Artillery use here

04:44:52.480 --> 04:44:56.040
That's a knock down there on the sugar free and then the artillery follows it up

04:44:56.040 --> 04:44:58.640
Yeah, really hard to set up any kills off the bassin ultimate

04:44:58.640 --> 04:45:02.680
But that is beautifully put together by KSG and it's a walk over flight wind

04:45:03.840 --> 04:45:06.280
Wonder they're looking keep both DPS ults

04:45:06.280 --> 04:45:13.280
There isn't like a solid portal to answer the spree here, so Top Dragon might have a voice just to push this through.

04:45:13.280 --> 04:45:18.280
Especially if you can kind of catch it, it's actually just kind of coming out on the high ground here.

04:45:18.280 --> 04:45:22.280
Not a good stop, not a good take, and here comes Top Dragon to make it even worse!

04:45:22.280 --> 04:45:24.280
Boy, that was over almost before it began.

04:45:24.280 --> 04:45:29.280
He just been found though, and what? He's stalling on the cart, he's also sitting on a cage like.

04:45:29.280 --> 04:45:32.280
He's just taking too much damage, and it's really wanted to top him back up.

04:45:32.280 --> 04:45:40.460
It's just sugar-free here that he'll get cleaned up.

04:45:40.460 --> 04:45:41.860
Pretty good offense.

04:45:41.860 --> 04:45:47.220
Poor Barrel thus far, can't nap available for them on offense, they do end up investing

04:45:47.220 --> 04:45:49.340
pretty heavy and getting aggressive.

04:45:49.340 --> 04:45:56.140
I expect SSG to bounce back here in a big way near me, that cage plus Blossom, sugar-free

04:45:56.140 --> 04:45:58.620
and Hawke have been great at combining.

04:45:58.620 --> 04:46:03.620
And they're tanking DPS role constantly. They see the hook and the slide going through.

04:46:05.620 --> 04:46:06.620
Varyl...

04:46:07.620 --> 04:46:09.620
...Hotline Japan now chasing the victory though.

04:46:09.620 --> 04:46:13.620
Changed the way the world sees him. A dead blotter for sugar-free though is cut short by KSG.

04:46:13.620 --> 04:46:16.620
But lethal had already gotten his job done.

04:46:17.620 --> 04:46:21.620
Now some more clock bleed. Also the cart sliding down that ootline.

04:46:21.620 --> 04:46:24.620
This could be a sticky part of the map to try and break through.

04:46:24.620 --> 04:46:27.620
And Varyl don't have any silver bullets.

04:46:27.620 --> 04:46:33.100
And it's starting to get really good for SSG right because ultraviolet's going to be able to kind of match this Consude a harsh you to match it

04:46:33.660 --> 04:46:35.660
Coming up here soon

04:46:35.660 --> 04:46:40.180
KsG goes in that's gonna be cardiac overdrive. There's gonna be the case by he's gonna be in a lot of trouble

04:46:40.300 --> 04:46:43.500
Slay actually uses the catnap during this as well

04:46:44.060 --> 04:46:48.180
I know potentially even gets caught inside the cage so that goes for nothing

04:46:48.780 --> 04:46:54.900
So I really like this for SSG similar to how we see teams unlike circle Royal push up

04:46:54.900 --> 04:46:57.500
Maybe you can play that low ground, you can do that here.

04:46:57.500 --> 04:46:59.800
It feels like one of the scenarios where Slade by otherwise

04:46:59.800 --> 04:47:02.200
and me advised to just hold on to this ultimate.

04:47:02.200 --> 04:47:03.700
Don't you have any place here?

04:47:03.700 --> 04:47:06.700
Oh man, solo my staff from KSG early.

04:47:06.700 --> 04:47:08.700
How are you going to heal through that? You just don't.

04:47:08.700 --> 04:47:10.700
We're getting some catches though. Chiric home?

04:47:10.700 --> 04:47:13.900
With this ultimate and barrel in a very awkward position

04:47:13.900 --> 04:47:15.300
trying to play on the clip side.

04:47:15.300 --> 04:47:18.300
I mean, Cloud had to end up using the TP to get to KSG

04:47:18.300 --> 04:47:20.300
and using the Suzu just to get the Mardar.

04:47:20.300 --> 04:47:24.300
And then also here's the artillery coming from directly above.

04:47:24.300 --> 04:47:27.300
What are you planning, sir?

04:47:27.300 --> 04:47:34.300
But you're like, great at role to get a catnap, bring one player in, and then we have another fight, probably 30 seconds off the clock and nothing happens.

04:47:34.300 --> 04:47:35.300
He's not here.

04:47:35.300 --> 04:47:41.300
Like, Suzu there from Cloud, those in Eco doesn't get disrupted whatsoever, and Sugafree's not in a position to meaningfully contribute.

04:47:41.300 --> 04:47:42.300
So what's the most for nothing?

04:47:42.300 --> 04:47:44.300
Another Suzu down.

04:47:44.300 --> 04:47:45.300
These have been so well timed.

04:47:45.300 --> 04:47:48.300
Cloud, obviously, with the cooldown reduction, is able just to dole those out.

04:47:48.300 --> 04:47:54.940
I think this is like ultimately okay though as uh you know sugar free

04:47:55.980 --> 04:47:59.980
it's gonna get staggered out here towards the end and you're gonna get another you're gonna get

04:47:59.980 --> 04:48:05.180
another fight right slide field is cutting out twice while that rule was so yeah that's true

04:48:05.180 --> 04:48:10.780
I mean all sleigh is just a different piece right on the cat just so much healing and damage output

04:48:11.820 --> 04:48:14.700
you'll have the depth blossom to break the cage with ASG

04:48:14.700 --> 04:48:22.900
Oh, and they do it. Nice job getting rid of Shooter pre-installing.

04:48:22.900 --> 04:48:26.900
Oh, Dragon dropping in. That is big Pharrell. They still keep their hopes alive now.

04:48:26.900 --> 04:48:31.820
SSG always willing to accept that this question is a better part of our half-bottom disengaged

04:48:31.820 --> 04:48:33.860
away from this, but can they get back in time?

04:48:33.860 --> 04:48:37.500
Lethal, trying to set something up with that ultimate, but it's a disengage from Pharrell.

04:48:37.500 --> 04:48:38.900
They do not want a part of it.

04:48:38.900 --> 04:48:40.900
What are they doing?

04:48:40.900 --> 04:48:42.900
They're giving up so much space, man.

04:48:42.900 --> 04:48:45.500
Well, they're not just pushing that through, they have the numbers still.

04:48:46.700 --> 04:48:51.100
Very, very safe play, but I wonder if they let a golden opportunity to go faking just now.

04:48:51.100 --> 04:48:52.900
They're gonna play around Top Dragon.

04:48:52.900 --> 04:48:54.540
Deathboss, I'm gonna throw it in instantly.

04:48:54.540 --> 04:48:55.740
Ultra Violet is down.

04:48:55.740 --> 04:48:58.540
The stun comes in, though, and Top Dragon is knocked out of the game.

04:48:58.540 --> 04:49:02.180
Hawks have to find two massive eliminations, and Sugarfree tends to the card.

04:49:02.180 --> 04:49:03.380
Still there's fighting to be done.

04:49:03.380 --> 04:49:04.540
Chance it for KSG.

04:49:04.540 --> 04:49:07.340
Admiral being hunted by Slaver, he can't finish the job.

04:49:07.340 --> 04:49:09.660
With Nico falling, Slade's gonna go back.

04:49:09.660 --> 04:49:11.220
But it's only 10 seconds left.

04:49:11.220 --> 04:49:21.220
And it feels like Barrel, just kind of disengaging from that previous fight, just playing way too passive at that moment, may have just left SSG take this one.

04:49:41.220 --> 04:49:46.500
at the start of this fight. No Malga, no problem for space station gaming. They'll run it on down,

04:49:46.500 --> 04:49:54.180
and Slay has been felled. Staying in orbit, SSG preserved their rights to reach for the stars.

04:50:02.260 --> 04:50:08.820
SSG seems so relieved they get it done here in our third and final map of this decider.

04:50:11.220 --> 04:50:17.220
Sugabree really turned up when Mida thought Hawke played a really great series as well.

04:50:17.220 --> 04:50:24.220
The Moga really gonna turn the tide and obviously just another brushing loss

04:50:24.220 --> 04:50:29.220
for Varel, the team still in high spirits.

04:50:29.220 --> 04:50:34.220
I mean another one that will sting at the international level for a while.

04:50:34.220 --> 04:50:37.220
The same trajectory they experienced last year,

04:50:37.220 --> 04:50:41.780
are ultimately being knocked out by North America's number two seed. It's not

04:50:41.780 --> 04:50:45.920
flashing for Hawke, but it doesn't have to be. He's an academic. When it comes to

04:50:45.920 --> 04:50:49.540
those tank matchups, he makes sure he's always put in a position to succeed.

04:50:49.540 --> 04:50:59.420
Marisa, Mauga, no problem. He is Starwart, an ultra consistent. So the story, the

04:50:59.420 --> 04:51:04.940
Japanese region comes to an end. Top Dragon and Slay, not quite able with their

04:51:04.940 --> 04:51:10.260
name in lights this time around and head over to the stage here and here from

04:51:10.260 --> 04:51:16.580
ultraviolet. SSG are in the quarterfinals here at the eSports World Cup and I'm

04:51:16.580 --> 04:51:20.020
standing by with ultraviolet. Just off camera there I said how you feeling you

04:51:20.020 --> 04:51:24.460
went? Stressful. I mean look we talk a lot about elimination matches, backs against

04:51:24.460 --> 04:51:28.620
the wall. After map one your back really was against the wall. How was the

04:51:28.620 --> 04:51:32.820
mentality in your team at that point? I think they definitely caught us off guard

04:51:32.820 --> 04:51:34.820
of the carry band. Um we weren't

04:51:34.820 --> 04:51:35.820
really expecting that. We

04:51:35.820 --> 04:51:36.820
watched their wads. We thought

04:51:36.820 --> 04:51:37.820
they'd do on Shambali, but after

04:51:37.820 --> 04:51:38.820
that map, like we said, like

04:51:38.820 --> 04:51:39.820
calm down guys, it's their

04:51:39.820 --> 04:51:40.820
strongest band. We know they're

04:51:40.820 --> 04:51:41.820
playing like the rest of these

04:51:41.820 --> 04:51:42.820
matchups, and I think we did

04:51:42.820 --> 04:51:44.820
that. Yeah, absolutely. And you

04:51:44.820 --> 04:51:45.820
had to really pull it together

04:51:45.820 --> 04:51:47.820
after yesterday's defeat to

04:51:47.820 --> 04:51:49.820
Crazy Raccoon. How are you

04:51:49.820 --> 04:51:51.820
feeling collectively after that

04:51:51.820 --> 04:51:52.820
loss? And did it take a lot, I

04:51:52.820 --> 04:51:53.820
guess, to pick yourselves back up

04:51:53.820 --> 04:51:55.820
and come into today? I wouldn't

04:51:55.820 --> 04:51:56.820
say so. I think Crazy Raccoon

04:51:56.820 --> 04:51:58.820
are probably the strongest team

04:51:58.820 --> 04:51:59.820
in this tournament. Maybe top

04:51:59.820 --> 04:52:00.820
two to top three, something like

04:52:00.820 --> 04:52:05.260
top three something like that. So I think it was definitely like disappointing. Like

04:52:05.260 --> 04:52:09.060
they're definitely fights and maps like that we could have and should have won. But I think

04:52:09.060 --> 04:52:11.740
that there are definitely a lot of like bright spots and like things we learned from that

04:52:11.740 --> 04:52:15.620
game. Yeah, I mean, you've shown flashes of brilliance throughout the last few days here

04:52:15.620 --> 04:52:19.620
in Paris. As you can see behind us, the key crusher is is being revealed. Have you ever

04:52:19.620 --> 04:52:24.940
crushed a key before? Would you like to? That'd be awesome. Let's go do it. All right, ultra

04:52:24.940 --> 04:52:28.940
to give props to Japan's

04:52:28.940 --> 04:52:30.940
champions. They came to Paris

04:52:30.940 --> 04:52:34.940
having already broken barriers.

04:52:34.940 --> 04:52:36.940
They showed moments where it

04:52:36.940 --> 04:52:44.940
could all come together. Very

04:52:44.940 --> 04:52:46.940
impressive run. But barrels mid

04:52:46.940 --> 04:52:50.940
season championship.

04:52:50.940 --> 04:52:59.340
But Varrals mid-season championship comes to an end thanks to SSG.

04:53:08.040 --> 04:53:12.840
Huge props to Varrals, what a run they've put together, but it's SSG that live on here.

04:53:13.340 --> 04:53:18.240
Do you know what? I get a real feeling that there's a lot of belief in your team when I'm watching you all together.

04:53:18.240 --> 04:53:23.240
you can keep pushing forward

04:53:23.240 --> 04:53:24.240
or you play in this one series

04:53:24.240 --> 04:53:25.240
at a time? Definitely one

04:53:25.240 --> 04:53:26.240
series at a time. I think we

04:53:26.240 --> 04:53:27.240
are very disappointed if our

04:53:27.240 --> 04:53:28.240
champions class performance. So

04:53:28.240 --> 04:53:29.240
every series we win every map

04:53:29.240 --> 04:53:30.240
we win. We best game so much

04:53:30.240 --> 04:53:31.240
confidence, and I think that's

04:53:31.240 --> 04:53:32.240
going to keep us going forward

04:53:32.240 --> 04:53:34.240
and just finally from me any

04:53:34.240 --> 04:53:36.240
message to your fans here who

04:53:36.240 --> 04:53:37.240
traveled across the world and

04:53:37.240 --> 04:53:38.240
also to your fans watching at

04:53:38.240 --> 04:53:40.240
home right now means a lot for

04:53:40.240 --> 04:53:41.240
supporting us. Thank you. Thank

04:53:41.240 --> 04:53:42.240
you very much. Best of luck in

04:53:42.240 --> 04:53:44.240
the rest of the tournament.

04:53:44.240 --> 04:53:46.240
Another key is crushed. We keep

04:53:46.240 --> 04:53:49.600
Moving! Malky's will get smashed as the day goes on.

04:53:56.560 --> 04:54:01.760
Thank you Lord Chambers and congratulations to that man. Jake I don't know if the word is sadist

04:54:01.760 --> 04:54:06.480
or a masterkiss but I feel like you got to be both to be a support in this meta.

04:54:06.480 --> 04:54:11.360
All too violent doing work here and it was all smiles as he gets to smash the key.

04:54:11.920 --> 04:54:16.000
Yeah it's a big moment for SSG you know that series got scary after they dropped map one

04:54:16.000 --> 04:54:21.840
It's certainly not a situation since you want to find themselves in after a relatively lackluster performance

04:54:21.840 --> 04:54:26.000
Of course in the champions glass, but they get this win done and in the fashion that they did

04:54:26.000 --> 04:54:29.460
I think that will instills in common is today we can dig ourselves out of this hole

04:54:29.840 --> 04:54:34.760
Yeah, I think what really turned things around on that second map was Hawk Hawk stepped it up tremendously

04:54:35.160 --> 04:54:38.340
Also think sugar free really turned it up on that second map

04:54:38.440 --> 04:54:43.660
So it's great to see them not getting rattled after I mean, let's be real that first round on control

04:54:43.660 --> 04:54:48.540
That was abysmal that was rough like that was the weirdest stock card at the end of it

04:54:48.540 --> 04:54:54.280
I have ever seen like I don't think we've ever seen anything like that on an international stage on the other side for vero

04:54:54.280 --> 04:55:00.300
We have to say goodbye to top dragon and of course my favorite jetpack cat sleigh was dominant

04:55:00.580 --> 04:55:03.600
Looking so good charging up the alts

04:55:03.600 --> 04:55:08.560
Admiral didn't even have to use his and they still in that game three Jake talk to me about the finish

04:55:08.560 --> 04:55:09.860
What do you see from SSG?

04:55:09.860 --> 04:55:13.140
You know, I think Hawk for me was the crucial player, right?

04:55:13.140 --> 04:55:18.300
Like his stomps finding critical kills like, you know, at one point looks like they're maybe they're gonna cap second and have

04:55:18.300 --> 04:55:22.380
A chance there on the final map and hawk is able to get that key pick up on PSG

04:55:22.900 --> 04:55:29.060
Punishing the tank and without the maga you're in real trouble. I feel like hawk really did gap up here in the tank matchup

04:55:29.060 --> 04:55:35.940
Yeah, couldn't agree more. I think overall SSG was obviously their heavy favorite, but still I want to give kudos to vero

04:55:35.940 --> 04:55:41.780
I think they stayed in the competition for longer than they usually did at facing up against the international competition

04:55:41.780 --> 04:55:44.900
While history did repeat itself. I still think they have a lot

04:55:48.900 --> 04:55:53.020
At the end of the day, it's SSG moving forward and what does that mean?

04:55:53.020 --> 04:55:54.780
Well in the club championship

04:55:54.780 --> 04:55:59.420
They are guaranteed more points than liquid is earned through the first five weeks and Jake

04:55:59.740 --> 04:56:05.100
This is only the first game there participating in two of the 25 titles at EWC

04:56:05.100 --> 04:56:09.340
Overwatch and Rocket League, they could score in both.

04:56:09.340 --> 04:56:11.060
I mean, they'll need to score pretty well in both,

04:56:11.060 --> 04:56:12.860
if they wanna put up some real numbers

04:56:12.860 --> 04:56:14.180
in the club championship.

04:56:14.180 --> 04:56:15.020
I think for Overwatch,

04:56:15.020 --> 04:56:16.780
I'd still call them a bit of a long shot team,

04:56:16.780 --> 04:56:18.460
but to make it into the top eight,

04:56:18.460 --> 04:56:20.020
you hear it from Ultraviolet, right?

04:56:20.020 --> 04:56:21.740
Just like with every series they win,

04:56:21.740 --> 04:56:23.140
with each map they play,

04:56:23.140 --> 04:56:24.820
they can build up towards something.

04:56:24.820 --> 04:56:26.620
And hey, you never know what kind of draw you're gonna find.

04:56:26.620 --> 04:56:29.020
Maybe you could make it even deeper into a top four slot.

04:56:29.020 --> 04:56:32.020
Now, Zoey, where do you feel that this SSG team

04:56:32.020 --> 04:56:33.020
could match up well?

04:56:33.020 --> 04:56:34.860
We're gonna be doing a draw show later

04:56:34.860 --> 04:56:37.540
And they are going to be at number two seed, I assume,

04:56:37.540 --> 04:56:40.900
with teams like Waybok pulling at the number one seed.

04:56:40.900 --> 04:56:43.460
Honestly, I don't think there's any easy matchups left

04:56:43.460 --> 04:56:44.740
for any of these teams.

04:56:44.740 --> 04:56:47.740
I think, especially because we do see a lot of differences

04:56:47.740 --> 04:56:49.860
when it comes to, you know, their comfort picks,

04:56:49.860 --> 04:56:51.460
their comfort compositions.

04:56:51.460 --> 04:56:53.700
I feel like what we've seen from Sushi has been pretty,

04:56:53.700 --> 04:56:54.820
I don't want to call it vanilla,

04:56:54.820 --> 04:56:58.140
but it has been pretty just like straightforward

04:56:58.140 --> 04:56:58.980
current meta.

04:56:58.980 --> 04:57:01.180
So, Davi had to surprise another team.

04:57:01.180 --> 04:57:02.580
Do you want to play a Korean team

04:57:02.580 --> 04:57:03.720
do you want to play?

04:57:03.720 --> 04:57:04.220
No.

04:57:04.220 --> 04:57:05.800
Crystal Fines or?

04:57:05.800 --> 04:57:06.900
No, also no.

04:57:06.900 --> 04:57:08.480
You're maybe going to be here.

04:57:08.480 --> 04:57:09.340
I don't want any of this.

04:57:09.340 --> 04:57:12.940
You're probably what you'd feel most comfortable with,

04:57:12.940 --> 04:57:15.220
or you want to play a Dallas Fuel, right?

04:57:15.220 --> 04:57:16.500
Because that's a familiar phone.

04:57:16.500 --> 04:57:18.740
We've got a lot of tough opponents making their way

04:57:18.740 --> 04:57:22.520
into the bracket and we still have another game on the day.

04:57:22.520 --> 04:57:27.740
Jake, final thoughts on this one before we go to a quick tepo.

04:57:27.740 --> 04:57:29.380
It's good to see SSG clutch up.

04:57:29.380 --> 04:57:31.960
And for Verrill, although it's nice to congratulate them

04:57:31.960 --> 04:57:35.720
on the map win. Is this going to sting right? This is a team that has started to reach their

04:57:35.720 --> 04:57:39.720
head into these higher level competitions and aspire to these international successes.

04:57:39.720 --> 04:57:43.560
And they've yet to find it. Won't find it this time in Paris. So fans are going to be

04:57:43.560 --> 04:57:47.400
left waiting for more next time we see them in a professional tournament over 70 million

04:57:47.400 --> 04:57:53.400
dollars on the line here at EWC and overlashes this one of many titles right now. We have

04:57:53.400 --> 04:57:58.400
the next round. We're going to

04:57:58.500 --> 04:58:09.400
continue with a live update

04:58:09.500 --> 04:58:11.400
from MLB. Heartbreak over here

04:58:11.500 --> 04:58:13.600
for Falcons as they have just

04:58:13.700 --> 04:58:15.400
lost their elimination match.

04:58:15.500 --> 04:58:17.000
Chris What's going on around

04:58:17.100 --> 04:58:18.400
MLB because this was not what

04:58:18.500 --> 04:58:20.400
was expected. I mean, it was an

04:58:20.500 --> 04:58:21.400
elite game to be honest with

04:58:21.500 --> 04:58:22.400
you. Falcons went to the zero

04:58:22.400 --> 04:58:26.080
to be honest with you map number one was one they maybe thought they could have done better

04:58:26.080 --> 04:58:29.680
in map number two they were looking pretty good to be honest with you kind of fumbled

04:58:29.680 --> 04:58:33.160
that one that's the one that probably looked back on and say well could we have won this

04:58:33.160 --> 04:58:37.040
three the one because then they go back to back for the force to map number five and

04:58:37.040 --> 04:58:42.160
then of course losing out to their opposition in yango and galactic goes an incredible performance

04:58:42.160 --> 04:58:45.480
from them really represent their region as well let's see how it's going to go for them

04:58:45.480 --> 04:58:48.640
but yeah falcons crashing out in a top four placement yes okay they'll play that their

04:58:48.640 --> 04:58:50.640
the top four for them. And it's

04:58:50.640 --> 04:58:52.640
a terrible result when it comes

04:58:52.640 --> 04:58:53.640
down to MLBB for them. They

04:58:53.640 --> 04:58:54.640
probably weren't expected to go

04:58:54.640 --> 04:58:55.640
on to win this, but they were

04:58:55.640 --> 04:58:56.640
expected to do well. Top four

04:58:56.640 --> 04:58:58.640
is not bad. Yeah, it's hard

04:58:58.640 --> 04:59:00.640
break for them, but it's just

04:59:00.640 --> 04:59:02.640
incredible to see that the games

04:59:02.640 --> 04:59:03.640
were so close. I personally

04:59:03.640 --> 04:59:04.640
almost believed in that reverse

04:59:04.640 --> 04:59:06.640
sweep. Didn't happen, though,

04:59:06.640 --> 04:59:08.640
but that's all from us for now.

04:59:08.640 --> 04:59:09.640
We'll keep you in the loop.

04:59:18.640 --> 04:59:47.540
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going.

04:59:47.540 --> 04:59:48.860
K, between.

04:59:48.860 --> 04:59:51.980
Maga, TNM, Maga, MGA, MGA, MGA, MGA, MGA, MGA, MGA, MGA.

04:59:51.980 --> 04:59:53.080
Come on, K, come on, come on.

04:59:53.080 --> 04:59:53.580
Let's go.

04:59:53.580 --> 04:59:54.640
Take care, G.

04:59:54.640 --> 04:59:55.680
Get one, get one.

04:59:55.680 --> 04:59:56.540
Come here, help me in mid?

04:59:56.540 --> 04:59:57.540
Yeah.

04:59:57.540 --> 04:59:59.660
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

04:59:59.660 --> 05:00:00.860
Three, three, three, three, three.

05:00:00.860 --> 05:00:01.860
Nice job.

05:00:01.860 --> 05:00:02.360
Nice job.

05:00:02.360 --> 05:00:02.860
Oh my god.

05:00:02.860 --> 05:00:03.360
OK.

05:00:03.360 --> 05:00:05.360
I

05:00:33.360 --> 05:00:56.060
Play is in our DNA, whenever we let it out, it becomes our superpower.

05:00:56.060 --> 05:01:00.480
Now imagine an entire city being built to superchargers.

05:01:00.480 --> 05:01:02.820
Kadea City powered by play.

05:01:06.660 --> 05:01:08.060
Hello everybody, I am back here.

05:01:08.060 --> 05:01:09.980
Yes, it's time for another pick-up.

05:01:09.980 --> 05:01:13.700
We're doing the pick-ups for the final two games of the day,

05:01:13.700 --> 05:01:17.580
starting off with the Virtus.Pro versus Dallas Fuel.

05:01:17.580 --> 05:01:19.580
Guys, who do you think's gonna win?

05:01:19.580 --> 05:01:21.340
Two-one, two-zero.

05:01:21.340 --> 05:01:22.180
What are your thoughts?

05:01:22.180 --> 05:01:25.340
I think it's Virtus.Pro, two-one.

05:01:25.340 --> 05:01:27.340
Big, big Virtus.pro fan.

05:01:27.340 --> 05:01:28.340
Yeah, yeah.

05:01:28.340 --> 05:01:30.340
It's EMEA, so...

05:01:30.340 --> 05:01:32.340
Esport EMEA, yeah.

05:01:32.340 --> 05:01:34.340
Virtus.pro winning 2-0, how about you?

05:01:34.340 --> 05:01:36.340
Yeah, I think that...

05:01:36.340 --> 05:01:38.340
Virtus.pro 2-0, uh...

05:01:38.340 --> 05:01:40.340
2, because EMEA first.

05:01:40.340 --> 05:01:41.340
EMEA first!

05:01:41.340 --> 05:01:43.340
You know what, I'm pretty sure in the beginning of the day,

05:01:43.340 --> 05:01:45.340
I said, uh, VP's gonna win.

05:01:45.340 --> 05:01:47.340
But since they're going VP, I'm gonna go the other route.

05:01:47.340 --> 05:01:50.340
I believe in NA, Dallas Fuel, you got this.

05:01:50.340 --> 05:01:53.340
I'm gonna go for Dallas Fuel 2-0.

05:01:53.340 --> 05:02:00.300
Alright, second one. Last final match of the day. GKE Sports vs JD Gaming. What are your thoughts?

05:02:00.860 --> 05:02:07.260
I think it's going to be a close match, but I think GKE Gaming can do it. They can win 2-1.

05:02:09.260 --> 05:02:12.300
I want to think different, so I will say JD Gaming.

05:02:12.300 --> 05:02:15.980
Okay, alright. JD Gaming winning 2-1?

05:02:16.780 --> 05:02:17.420
2-1.

05:02:17.420 --> 05:02:21.740
2-1. Lock that into your phone. Lock that into your phone. Okay, we got one GKE, one JD Gaming.

05:02:21.740 --> 05:02:26.620
I think I said GK as well. I don't remember guys. It's been a long day. I think I'm gonna change it

05:02:26.620 --> 05:02:28.620
I think I'm gonna go for JD gaming

05:02:28.860 --> 05:02:33.780
To one against GK. All right. Thank you guys so much. Enjoy the games and also guys

05:02:33.780 --> 05:02:37.360
You guys can have more fun on the EWC app join in the fun

05:02:51.740 --> 05:03:03.740
What are you guys doing?

05:03:03.740 --> 05:03:08.100
Yeah, they're back!

05:03:08.100 --> 05:03:19.100
Yeah, they're back!

05:03:19.100 --> 05:03:23.420
It's the man who fell a little bit short earlier today, but he was joined us in the

05:03:23.420 --> 05:03:25.300
Winter Circle last night.

05:03:25.300 --> 05:03:26.900
Can they fight another win?

05:03:26.900 --> 05:03:29.620
Well, that's powered through the Dallas Fuel.

05:03:29.620 --> 05:03:32.900
Dallas Fuel representing NA on the other side.

05:03:32.900 --> 05:03:35.900
Where's Virtus Pro at right now on the global scale, Johnny?

05:03:35.900 --> 05:03:38.220
Look, Virtus.pro, it was a good loss pocket.

05:03:38.220 --> 05:03:42.300
They found out that the Domino maybe wasn't the best option here on the international stage.

05:03:42.300 --> 05:03:45.420
So yes, you take the loss here, but I still have very much faith in them.

05:03:45.420 --> 05:03:49.740
Jake, we saw Virtus.pro, of course, playing against Dallas Fuel in the past.

05:03:49.740 --> 05:03:51.980
This time around, we got some new rosters.

05:03:51.980 --> 05:03:56.220
If you're looking at their stats here at EWC, what have you seen from the two squads?

05:03:56.220 --> 05:03:59.180
I mean, you've got to come in and expect Virtus.pro to be the favorite.

05:03:59.180 --> 05:04:01.020
If only because of the region they represent.

05:04:01.020 --> 05:04:04.580
And EMEA looks like a drastically stronger region overall.

05:04:04.580 --> 05:04:07.020
And NA hasn't really been able to find much success.

05:04:07.020 --> 05:04:09.020
Like SSG squeaking out this win over Veros.

05:04:09.020 --> 05:04:10.820
One of their better results in the tournament,

05:04:10.820 --> 05:04:12.100
which isn't saying much.

05:04:12.100 --> 05:04:15.580
VP qualifies the top squad over Twisted Minds, right?

05:04:15.580 --> 05:04:17.940
Over DK, teams that have looked pretty phenomenal.

05:04:17.940 --> 05:04:20.900
So yes, they take a tough loss here, two Twisted Minds,

05:04:20.900 --> 05:04:22.700
but this is Twisted Minds on LAN.

05:04:22.700 --> 05:04:24.020
I won't count that too much against them.

05:04:24.020 --> 05:04:25.940
Johnny, I saw a Reinhardt this morning,

05:04:25.940 --> 05:04:28.700
and he was doing work against the Symmetra comps.

05:04:28.700 --> 05:04:35.100
Did you see enough here for Virtus Pro to give you faith in their next matchup?

05:04:35.100 --> 05:04:37.020
Because Twisted Minds look like they had their number.

05:04:37.020 --> 05:04:39.100
This is an entirely different matchup.

05:04:39.100 --> 05:04:42.140
Like Jake kind of said, they face Twisted Minds on the Symmetra.

05:04:42.140 --> 05:04:47.180
This time around, they're facing Dallas Kjul, who always want the upper hand when it comes to the compositions.

05:04:47.180 --> 05:04:49.420
They want to lean into the individual skill.

05:04:49.420 --> 05:04:51.100
We're going to see a lot of fast tempo here.

05:04:51.100 --> 05:04:53.260
The chasers come out, the she-on come out.

05:04:53.260 --> 05:04:55.740
Callon is going to play fast-paced dive heroes in this one.

05:04:55.740 --> 05:04:57.340
So not at all the same matchup.

05:04:57.340 --> 05:05:03.820
Virtus.pro, I think they're quite happy to echo that, to mirror that, and just play like whack-a-mole when it comes to the composition.

05:05:03.820 --> 05:05:07.140
This could be the most unpredictable matchup when it comes to compositions today.

05:05:07.140 --> 05:05:11.980
You mentioned Dallas Fuel has a man named Kellan who is ready to up the tempo.

05:05:11.980 --> 05:05:14.620
We caught up with him before the match. Here's what he had to say.

05:05:15.620 --> 05:05:17.460
Everybody, I'm joined here by...name please.

05:05:18.140 --> 05:05:18.820
Kellan.

05:05:18.820 --> 05:05:19.820
From what team?

05:05:19.820 --> 05:05:20.940
Kellan Spear.

05:05:21.380 --> 05:05:24.740
Alright, Kellan, you guys are going up against VP. I just want to know,

05:05:24.740 --> 05:05:29.240
Did you actually want VP to be your opponent today, or did you actually want to twist the mind?

05:05:44.740 --> 05:05:52.740
We actually really wanted to face VP, just because in scrims we had better results when we were facing off against VP, so it actually really worked out.

05:05:52.740 --> 05:05:59.100
Alright, you guys are up, it's almost time for you guys to go up to the stage and facing VP.

05:05:59.100 --> 05:06:00.900
How confident are you feeling right now?

05:06:13.400 --> 05:06:17.700
Definitely, in our warm-up scrim, we did fantastic.

05:06:17.700 --> 05:06:23.100
And so because of that, I am feeling very confident and everyone on our team is actually feeling very confident.

05:06:23.100 --> 05:06:26.900
So I feel like we will be able to bring good results on stage.

05:06:26.900 --> 05:06:28.500
Kellen, thank you so much for the interview.

05:06:29.200 --> 05:06:29.800
Fighting!

05:06:29.800 --> 05:06:30.500
Fighting!

05:06:31.100 --> 05:06:35.400
After slipping up early into tournament, Dallas feel able to walk away with a victory.

05:06:35.400 --> 05:06:37.100
Let's take a look at some of their highlights.

05:06:37.100 --> 05:06:40.500
And if you're going to look for some big players, we heard from Kellen.

05:06:40.500 --> 05:06:42.900
Jake, who else is on this roster that you got eyes on?

05:06:43.800 --> 05:06:46.500
I think the supports are going to be crucial in this matchup.

05:06:46.500 --> 05:06:53.500
CJ Lugmino for Dallas Fuel going up against the opposition here, but landing and fix are incredibly stable supports in the backline

05:06:53.500 --> 05:06:58.100
And so this traditional Dallas Fuel strategy of putting a lot of pressure on playing these fast five heroes

05:06:58.100 --> 05:07:02.740
It's gonna come up against I think one of the best backlines in the game at just

05:07:03.180 --> 05:07:06.500
Rebuke that kind of aggression. I also have to give a shout out to Sunjern

05:07:06.500 --> 05:07:10.920
He was fantastic against Falcons even though they lost and he viffed yesterday against liquid

05:07:10.920 --> 05:07:17.720
Sergent here is an amazing player and if Talos Fuel are to win today, he needs to come up with some huge performances on the Tracer.

05:07:17.720 --> 05:07:23.320
Yeah, I was gonna say, is the double hits game gonna be the best look for the Fuel right now? Do you want to see the Tracer?

05:07:23.320 --> 05:07:29.120
It has to be the Tracer, I think, come out here, Jake, because they kinda want to play around Virtus.pro.

05:07:29.120 --> 05:07:32.720
I don't think they want to take the head-to-head as much when it comes to playing up close.

05:07:32.720 --> 05:07:37.720
They want to circumvent Virtus.pro, so that is a strategic matchup that you might want to look out for in this series.

05:07:37.720 --> 05:07:44.720
Jake, we got 50 seconds and 89% of the fans are leaning towards Virtus Pro here in the first two.

05:07:44.720 --> 05:07:46.020
Where are you leaning?

05:07:46.020 --> 05:07:52.220
I've also got to lean VP. I think their mastery of the Symmetra comp, you know, the fact that they don't even ban it against Twisted Minds,

05:07:52.220 --> 05:07:55.720
they were willing to take the mirror is a testament to their confidence and the style.

05:07:55.720 --> 05:08:01.620
I think that's going to be an issue for Dallas Fuel. I think EMEA is way better at S.I.M. and it presents real problems to the Dallas Fuel strategy.

05:08:01.620 --> 05:08:03.420
You're riding with EMEA on this one, Johnny.

05:08:03.420 --> 05:08:05.220
Yeah, you got to ride with Virtus Pro on this one.

05:08:05.220 --> 05:08:09.140
But in North America are so hungry for a win against the NBA Dallas fuel gonna be fired up

05:08:09.140 --> 05:08:16.780
So if Dallas fuel is gonna pull up the upset give me the one player to watch who is Tasmo gonna be given a raise at the end of

05:08:16.780 --> 05:08:19.220
This match John is gonna have a breakout tournament if they win here today

05:08:19.220 --> 05:08:26.120
Son John is gonna be our DPS player to watch. Are you ready? It's time to go to the stage for another qualifying match

05:09:05.220 --> 05:09:08.900
The favourites fall, but there are two more places left to go to play.

05:09:08.900 --> 05:09:14.300
Only two spots left in the playoffs, and it's all about who is going to be brave enough to go and get them.

05:09:14.300 --> 05:09:21.660
Because it's not only about winning, it's also about avoiding dodging the brutal key crusher at all costs.

05:09:21.660 --> 05:09:25.020
And that's exactly what our next teams are hoping to do.

05:09:25.020 --> 05:09:30.140
Let's welcome on to the stage, Verdes Pro!

05:09:35.220 --> 05:09:43.340
They arrived in Paris, as EMEA's clear number one seed, they opened their campaign with

05:09:43.340 --> 05:09:52.180
a ruthless 2-0 win over 9-Z and looked every inch a championship contender, but earlier

05:09:52.180 --> 05:09:56.500
on today twisted minds stopped that momentum called.

05:09:56.500 --> 05:10:01.900
Now the region's top seed has been dragged into elimination match with their tournament

05:10:01.900 --> 05:10:04.700
and a key on the line.

05:10:04.700 --> 05:10:08.700
Welcome, Dallas Few!

05:10:11.700 --> 05:10:14.700
They are your North American champions,

05:10:14.700 --> 05:10:16.700
hitting the international stage.

05:10:16.700 --> 05:10:21.700
The North American champions are ready to smile,

05:10:21.700 --> 05:10:24.700
but they are ready to create the surprise

05:10:24.700 --> 05:10:28.700
because they beat Team Liquid yesterday in a domestic matchup.

05:10:28.700 --> 05:10:32.700
But what's it gonna look like against EMEA?

05:10:32.700 --> 05:10:34.700
Let's find out Ian.

05:10:34.700 --> 05:10:38.200
Both teams came to Paris chasing the championship.

05:10:38.200 --> 05:10:41.700
Now, they're fighting simply to remain in it.

05:10:41.700 --> 05:10:45.200
One series, one key, nowhere back.

05:10:45.200 --> 05:10:46.200
Let's get it!

05:10:49.200 --> 05:10:50.200
Let's get it indeed.

05:10:50.200 --> 05:10:54.700
EMEA's number one versus NA's number one.

05:10:54.700 --> 05:11:00.700
Dallas Fuel and VP finally facing off yet again.

05:11:00.700 --> 05:11:07.820
Moxie, last time they went head-to-head, it was that champion's clash game, VP,

05:11:07.820 --> 05:11:12.780
three-wondom and eliminated them in that lower bracket quarters.

05:11:12.780 --> 05:11:24.380
Revenge is a dish best served cold, ice cold if you're pure, since this is still first to two

05:11:24.380 --> 05:11:33.740
It's still absolutely brutal as is the punishment for the team that faces defeat.

05:11:33.740 --> 05:11:39.780
Key crushes will be at the end of our two last matches of the day.

05:11:39.780 --> 05:11:42.500
We're not just prone though.

05:11:42.500 --> 05:11:46.900
There's questions after this team's performance versus Twisted Minds earlier in the day.

05:11:46.900 --> 05:11:51.660
We thought that that had the potential to be a core series.

05:11:51.660 --> 05:11:54.500
It was done in a speedrun.

05:11:54.500 --> 05:11:56.260
It was literally anything but.

05:11:56.260 --> 05:12:00.620
VP got one point across two maps.

05:12:00.620 --> 05:12:05.100
They got two on the ball and two one on Neon Junction.

05:12:05.100 --> 05:12:06.420
Looks like we're heading back there.

05:12:06.420 --> 05:12:08.620
This is VP's choice as well.

05:12:08.620 --> 05:12:12.220
Diva ban for the Fuel, Cassidy for VP.

05:12:12.220 --> 05:12:15.420
Yeah, they started moving away from Kester's Cassidy.

05:12:16.500 --> 05:12:19.860
It off the table themselves.

05:12:19.860 --> 05:12:23.220
I think like Des talks about this though, Johnny said,

05:12:23.220 --> 05:12:29.060
that defeat versus Twisted Minds hasn't taught them to stay away from the dominer.

05:12:29.060 --> 05:12:35.180
Or do we see the definition of insanity trying to do the same thing on the very same map

05:12:35.180 --> 05:12:40.460
and running afoul of the same issue because if you want to try to run dominer,

05:12:40.460 --> 05:12:43.420
you will invite the Rhine from Fuel.

05:12:43.420 --> 05:12:49.140
TVNT's Ryan was good, but Kellen's Ryan, well that is legendary.

05:12:50.260 --> 05:12:52.040
Yeah, I don't think they're gonna make the same mistake.

05:12:52.040 --> 05:12:55.900
I started already locking in the ram, no need to panic, it's all good.

05:12:55.900 --> 05:13:00.140
Kellen's gonna off-tank Meta kind of day for him.

05:13:01.020 --> 05:13:02.540
He's gonna lock in the Sigma instead.

05:13:02.940 --> 05:13:06.460
Obviously, Lukimino, Lukimino on the Wu Yang.

05:13:06.780 --> 05:13:08.780
Because you think it would have been kind of fun, but this Wu Yang,

05:13:08.780 --> 05:13:11.900
It's in fact almost pure poke here from Dallas.

05:13:11.900 --> 05:13:13.740
Fuel versus VP's comp.

05:13:13.740 --> 05:13:15.240
That wants to go a little bit more aggressive,

05:13:15.240 --> 05:13:17.340
a little more quick with the TP from the SIP.

05:13:17.340 --> 05:13:19.700
Yeah, so much damage, but your concussives

05:13:19.700 --> 05:13:22.340
could also prevent Psycho Sim setting up VP.

05:13:22.340 --> 05:13:23.580
High goodness.

05:13:23.580 --> 05:13:27.340
And that is the benefit of a poke-heavy composition.

05:13:27.340 --> 05:13:31.100
Kepter can't even walk the corner before he's down.

05:13:31.100 --> 05:13:32.380
TP and Psycho,

05:13:32.380 --> 05:13:33.620
they're going to reposition the rest of his team again.

05:13:33.620 --> 05:13:35.900
There's, oh, Saunscher, no way.

05:13:35.900 --> 05:13:39.900
concussive blast ice note off of the map.

05:13:39.900 --> 05:13:42.900
VP was so quick to relocate there.

05:13:42.900 --> 05:13:44.900
Even hit the roll out real fast too,

05:13:44.900 --> 05:13:47.900
but yeah, Kev and ice note go down first.

05:13:47.900 --> 05:13:52.900
Well, one honest fight before swapping to the cat bastion

05:13:52.900 --> 05:13:55.900
since if you try and walk off of one choke

05:13:55.900 --> 05:13:57.900
against Dallas Fields' poke heavy competition,

05:13:57.900 --> 05:14:00.900
you will lose players before you can rotate.

05:14:00.900 --> 05:14:03.900
So provide the attention, go up to the press on the Kira code,

05:14:03.900 --> 05:14:05.380
4 stars field to have to react.

05:14:05.380 --> 05:14:07.100
Psycho's put himself in the middle of a team here,

05:14:07.100 --> 05:14:09.780
or I shouldn't say he has, Vixxer has.

05:14:09.780 --> 05:14:11.020
Just kind of dunked him in a little bit,

05:14:11.020 --> 05:14:13.140
so I'm surprised he's alive in this situation,

05:14:13.140 --> 05:14:13.980
gotta be honest.

05:14:13.980 --> 05:14:15.460
Skies don't look too healthy, though.

05:14:15.460 --> 05:14:17.540
This Nemesis form's gonna run out in just a moment,

05:14:17.540 --> 05:14:19.580
and Kevster is down again.

05:14:19.580 --> 05:14:22.980
Two fights in a row now, that Kevster's fallen first.

05:14:22.980 --> 05:14:25.980
So you're up in two, it feels like it's just not being wrecked.

05:14:27.700 --> 05:14:30.980
He's playing so well around all of these door frames,

05:14:30.980 --> 05:14:33.700
making it impossible for Virtus.Pro to be able to answer back

05:14:33.700 --> 05:14:38.020
the splash damage from that borough. Look, you know on the Wu Yang, you just have to

05:14:38.020 --> 05:14:40.820
hit good but, which means that his point becomes more positive too.

05:14:42.340 --> 05:14:46.180
Oh, they're going to swing it again, so all, I want it to get picked up a little bit too far

05:14:46.180 --> 05:14:48.500
forward there for the fuel, and Hanlon's going to pay the same price.

05:14:50.900 --> 05:14:55.620
Good wave versus Saiko. Not letting that bastion chase the Wu Yang, but he's

05:14:55.620 --> 05:14:57.620
Oh, the gangster!

05:14:58.620 --> 05:15:01.620
Yeah, there we go. Shunjun down to fixer.

05:15:01.620 --> 05:15:04.620
Finally, Virtus Pro have been able to find a footing.

05:15:04.620 --> 05:15:10.620
They can try and just step up before the Thara finds any space, which is why Shunjun will swap.

05:15:10.620 --> 05:15:17.620
Other than Thara would not be able to navigate the retakes successfully onto the tracer instead to match up versus Kevster.

05:15:17.620 --> 05:15:20.620
Yeah, better with the tidal blast too. Luka Minnow's got it online already.

05:15:20.620 --> 05:15:26.260
already. Sanjun's playing the focus here as Kevster, now looking at Psycho as well.

05:15:26.260 --> 05:15:30.740
Rush Deploy, there is the title, Blast, Sanjun looking for kills in the

05:15:30.740 --> 05:15:34.180
guilty somewhere, but it's actually Aiso that comes up with a kill on CJ. It's

05:15:34.180 --> 05:15:37.220
gonna be a flux, Perlin getting out of the way, though actually ends up picking up

05:15:37.220 --> 05:15:41.700
the mega back for now looking at three players. Overtis Pro taking down, but it's

05:15:41.700 --> 05:15:46.740
DPSed on the heavy lifting, landing Kevster dead as well, and teleport back from

05:15:46.740 --> 05:15:52.420
Sergeant straight into the line of fire at these mortars, but that is close, still standing tall at this point.

05:15:52.420 --> 05:15:56.660
Sergeant doesn't pick up the kill on the Bastion Shore, but it's a bit of a messy fight.

05:15:57.380 --> 05:16:01.380
They could not find the kill on to Ice, which is why Bluttersport were able to hold down the

05:16:01.380 --> 05:16:07.620
point for so long. Finally, the Ram is forced back. Regroup with the rest of the team as Kellyns,

05:16:07.620 --> 05:16:12.980
off at the Sigma, now onto the Mauser. Gala's still wanting to find those engagement opportunities

05:16:12.980 --> 05:16:15.220
so that Kronik gets the space to work this over for.

05:16:15.220 --> 05:16:17.380
Yeah, much better here with the Kalin, that's for short.

05:16:17.380 --> 05:16:19.540
Ice on Stomp in, Iceman forced out already.

05:16:20.180 --> 05:16:22.740
Shield behind him isn't going to help him anymore because there's Kalin,

05:16:22.740 --> 05:16:24.900
the punishment on Iceman right now.

05:16:24.900 --> 05:16:26.260
They still need to actually pick up the kill though.

05:16:26.260 --> 05:16:27.620
Iceman, he's still alive.

05:16:27.620 --> 05:16:28.740
Kronik playing in the mega health pack.

05:16:28.740 --> 05:16:30.820
Rubez, the rest of the players are split up.

05:16:30.820 --> 05:16:33.780
Dixir, half HP, Kronik looking for the cat.

05:16:33.780 --> 05:16:36.180
Because Iceman, they end up winning the Thule over there.

05:16:36.180 --> 05:16:38.900
Sunshun down, Dallas fuel up to 90%.

05:16:38.900 --> 05:16:41.220
It's Kalin tries to rejoin the rest of the team.

05:16:41.220 --> 05:16:44.580
Yeah, but they were down Psycho off of that overclock kill from Kronix.

05:16:44.580 --> 05:16:46.100
Old Sparks Pro having to wait.

05:16:46.100 --> 05:16:48.820
More so, could be huge from Kads though, but you have to get past using it.

05:16:48.820 --> 05:16:50.020
Oh, not quite though.

05:16:50.020 --> 05:16:51.620
Interpreting that little edge instead.

05:16:51.620 --> 05:16:52.580
Force to recall as well.

05:16:52.580 --> 05:16:55.140
The other fight for just a moment is OT.

05:16:55.140 --> 05:16:56.180
There's been triggers.

05:16:56.180 --> 05:16:58.820
VP are on the point there, contesting about how much longer.

05:16:58.820 --> 05:17:02.180
Eisenhower hasn't got an annihilation to kind of refresh that nemesis for.

05:17:02.180 --> 05:17:04.580
As now, it looks like VP are going to capture back.

05:17:04.580 --> 05:17:07.460
Alice, do you want to pick it up and get on to land it?

05:17:07.460 --> 05:17:09.780
Honestly, that is the best kill you can get.

05:17:09.780 --> 05:17:13.220
Now he's only picked it, he's trying to heal the team, it's like he gets picked out of the air on the Bastion.

05:17:13.220 --> 05:17:17.920
Picks a hat, got this ultimate of course, but I don't think it's really going to be all of it in impact here.

05:17:17.920 --> 05:17:22.420
A tidal blast on Tystome, Lukavino picks up the kill and he's only picked a left.

05:17:22.420 --> 05:17:26.020
He's going to get another touch. He's got the catnap, he ain't got time though.

05:17:26.020 --> 05:17:29.880
Oh, that's brutal for Virtus Pro.

05:17:29.880 --> 05:17:33.380
1% of Kitsuna Rush for Landon.

05:17:33.380 --> 05:17:41.180
What a kill from the Dallas Fuel. Finding that Kiriko, the one thing that

05:17:41.180 --> 05:17:46.180
Virtus.Pro were wanting to be able to leverage to hold on to that point.

05:17:46.180 --> 05:17:50.860
Moments like this as well, like Junjun just being able to stay behind, play those

05:17:50.860 --> 05:17:57.680
doorways. Quite conclusive there. Finding that connection onto ice. This, that one

05:17:57.680 --> 05:18:05.240
pick that secured done that fight. Fixer's just forced to have to play right below the

05:18:05.240 --> 05:18:10.360
point itself just to try to live to be able to find the touch so that Virtus.pro can push

05:18:10.360 --> 05:18:15.680
back with that rush but they're denied the opportunity of BOT and we head to second round.

05:18:15.680 --> 05:18:20.920
Ice now off of the rematch are too vulnerable to the stomp connection from Kellen's Valga.

05:18:20.920 --> 05:18:21.920
He'll go for the hash.

05:18:21.920 --> 05:18:26.740
I did the eSports classic that did bump into the Dallas Fuel in the bathroom before this

05:18:26.740 --> 05:18:27.740
series.

05:18:27.740 --> 05:18:31.140
Did ask Helen if he felt a little bit nervous and he said, yeah, I do actually.

05:18:31.140 --> 05:18:34.140
Confident, but a little bit nervous.

05:18:34.140 --> 05:18:38.460
I don't want to repeat the champion's clash, but like he said with the little interview

05:18:38.460 --> 05:18:40.980
with Danny as well, scrims have been going well for us.

05:18:40.980 --> 05:18:44.620
We've been beating VP and I'll continue on stage.

05:18:44.620 --> 05:18:49.420
Let us throw in a decent position on the point so far that once again they've lost land

05:18:49.420 --> 05:18:50.940
and two Sonja.

05:18:50.940 --> 05:18:57.020
found the most important early pink and now VP are forced to try and take the fight fast

05:18:57.020 --> 05:19:01.820
and the Dallas Fuel they're not giving them any meterage. There is a little bit of a little

05:19:01.820 --> 05:19:05.820
bit of disruption the backline's short. Chronic is dead doesn't matter though Dallas Fuel they got

05:19:05.820 --> 05:19:10.540
numbers and they got the point. Not just that but look at how far ahead CJ is in terms of that first

05:19:10.540 --> 05:19:15.820
rush charge the landing but it's for half to respect the fact that Fuel will have that first

05:19:15.820 --> 05:19:18.860
Rush to be able to hold the grandstand.

05:19:18.860 --> 05:19:22.300
Two hundred and two, with the first pulse of the match.

05:19:22.300 --> 05:19:26.340
Landon looking like such a good leader to have Psych.

05:19:26.340 --> 05:19:27.580
Okay, all good though.

05:19:27.580 --> 05:19:28.580
There is a Suzu.

05:19:30.300 --> 05:19:31.900
Save for them, at least for now.

05:19:31.900 --> 05:19:33.740
Psycho, now looking for his one.

05:19:35.540 --> 05:19:36.500
Does he find her?

05:19:36.500 --> 05:19:38.300
Oh sure, no 15 HP, it's the recall.

05:19:38.300 --> 05:19:39.580
Now's the time to go, really.

05:19:39.580 --> 05:19:41.300
Only got one blink though, so maybe they're gonna hold on.

05:19:41.300 --> 05:19:42.420
Dp and a clip at the point behind,

05:19:42.420 --> 05:19:43.620
Dp knows the last skills,

05:19:43.620 --> 05:19:44.820
Lucino doesn't have going down,

05:19:44.820 --> 05:19:47.220
even though the rush from the fuel has been used.

05:19:47.220 --> 05:19:50.540
The Teleport away there from Songin, a recall to get out of that mega health pack room.

05:19:50.540 --> 05:19:53.980
Now Pelon and Ice Stone just trading Stomps.

05:19:53.980 --> 05:19:56.740
Double cage on the point, there's the Spree as well from Kepster.

05:19:56.740 --> 05:20:01.260
Poltspaw deletes the cage from Kelen, but Kepster is the one doing the damage.

05:20:01.260 --> 05:20:04.740
CJ Kelen dead, but it's pro, continue to hold.

05:20:04.740 --> 05:20:08.900
Straight Stomp from Ice, slamming onto Kelen, forcing the cage mirror,

05:20:08.900 --> 05:20:14.100
allows Landon that opportunity to be able to get rushed when his tank is still alive.

05:20:14.100 --> 05:20:17.220
And Virtus.pro forced fuel back.

05:20:17.220 --> 05:20:21.020
Xiong Xiong now actually off of the tracer onto the Reaper.

05:20:21.020 --> 05:20:24.700
Wants to be able to find that in past the tanks onto the back lines

05:20:24.700 --> 05:20:27.020
but Virtus.pro has to turn and kill the Kirikos.

05:20:27.900 --> 05:20:29.700
Way more front to back now.

05:20:30.300 --> 05:20:33.220
No hope really of picking off Landon with the Reaper.

05:20:33.220 --> 05:20:34.700
And when she got on a crazy flight,

05:20:34.700 --> 05:20:36.180
Monarch actually is away really early.

05:20:36.180 --> 05:20:38.220
There's the Patnav coming through from Vixar.

05:20:38.220 --> 05:20:40.060
He's trying to steal somebody but in fact,

05:20:40.060 --> 05:20:41.060
Christo was just like,

05:20:41.060 --> 05:20:47.060
On the wrong side of the fight, they're in a flicking position to win Kellan, and Chronic just laces fix his head off.

05:20:47.060 --> 05:20:49.060
Those probably the decent lead though.

05:20:49.060 --> 05:20:52.060
If you're going to have 60 plus percent of the time, they'll go down.

05:20:52.060 --> 05:20:55.060
Yeah, how do you feel trying to hold this point?

05:20:55.060 --> 05:20:59.060
They at least, again, since they were able to get that first kill and to land it on the first fight,

05:20:59.060 --> 05:21:01.060
so it is massively ahead.

05:21:01.060 --> 05:21:07.060
For all of these different rushes, I'll have the first rush for this next fight yet again.

05:21:07.060 --> 05:21:13.060
But if you're running the Reaper and the Soldier, what you don't have is a way of keeping Psycho and Kepster in check.

05:21:13.060 --> 05:21:18.060
Like this positioning here as well, Luke and me hosts, who've got this cat map, way bigger advantage versus Fixer,

05:21:18.060 --> 05:21:23.060
and this aggressive drop down on the stairs results in the kill on the Kepster,

05:21:23.060 --> 05:21:26.060
who has really drawn the ire of the fuel.

05:21:26.060 --> 05:21:29.060
You want to shut down the carry, and that carry is definitely Kepster.

05:21:29.060 --> 05:21:41.060
Fjord didn't touch a good job to have stacking together to make sure that Vodafone don't take advantage with the Tracer machine and the ability, the speed, that they can clap onto isolated players and find those kills.

05:21:41.060 --> 05:21:55.060
And Fjord, they're just fighting together strong. CJ with that rush, Sjundrum with the deathblossom, but our eye is on Cypher right now. He has that pulse bomb, he's lurking, he's trying to identify a good place to put it.

05:21:55.060 --> 05:22:00.220
These cage fights are going to be nasty too, Sonjins caught the death blossom.

05:22:00.220 --> 05:22:03.880
So Ice is going to have to play a little bit more tentative maybe, a little bit more careful.

05:22:03.880 --> 05:22:05.560
CJ is going to push them forward though.

05:22:05.560 --> 05:22:10.720
And yeah, okay, no cage required here, just a solo death blossom on Kevster.

05:22:10.720 --> 05:22:13.960
Case play from Kellen instead, ice storm and emergency one.

05:22:13.960 --> 05:22:15.820
Dallas fuel at 90%.

05:22:15.820 --> 05:22:19.760
And hey, would you look at this, they can play all the way up, landed at no choice,

05:22:19.760 --> 05:22:22.440
couldn't even use the rush, Psycho to touch.

05:22:22.440 --> 05:22:25.720
Oh, yeah, the Tracer's going to have to exhaust all of the blinks though.

05:22:26.600 --> 05:22:30.440
Right, there it is. Straight back out again. Has got Rekal saved that one, so couldn't go in.

05:22:30.440 --> 05:22:32.040
Play a little bit more aggressive here.

05:22:32.040 --> 05:22:36.600
Holtz one goes wide against the retouch. There's the rush, Ice Gnome on the doon.

05:22:36.600 --> 05:22:41.240
Psycho down, they need to make this one stick though. As long as Dallas Duke can hold out,

05:22:41.240 --> 05:22:44.840
they might be good to win this fight. But Kepster's going to put an end to that.

05:22:44.840 --> 05:22:48.040
Chronix now down to the Black Kepster with his breeze, going to get shut down by Kelen,

05:22:48.040 --> 05:22:51.480
who makes his way back to the point. And now Ice. Maybe regretting the pick of the

05:22:51.480 --> 05:22:56.480
the doom here against the Margot is going to be tough but he had to play it to get back to the point in time.

05:22:56.480 --> 05:23:02.480
Another quick punch in, gets slaughtered by Sungeon and now it's easy pickings for the Fuel DPS.

05:23:02.480 --> 05:23:08.480
Cores to hit the ship but it should not matter, Kixer goes down, the last remaining members of VP

05:23:08.480 --> 05:23:15.480
are going to fall to Psycho, Kevster looking to get back the Dallas Fuel to own a ball.

05:23:15.480 --> 05:23:18.480
Their coordination is just so good.

05:23:18.480 --> 05:23:21.480
You look at that Death Blossom Contingent,

05:23:21.480 --> 05:23:27.480
they actually send the Kiriko to go alongside for the Suzu.

05:23:27.480 --> 05:23:29.480
He teleports to his Reaper.

05:23:29.480 --> 05:23:36.480
He uses the Suzu on the Death Blossom to make sure that that iFrame lasts before Kevster can react.

05:23:36.480 --> 05:23:40.480
He takes the shield down, doesn't allow a trade opportunity

05:23:40.480 --> 05:23:43.480
to take one of those backline support players down.

05:23:43.480 --> 05:23:47.560
to have forced Dallas Fuel to play suddenly slower. Yeah, see, look, watch, you can see,

05:23:47.560 --> 05:23:51.800
there's the Suzy, there's the Fuel Pocket, and the whole time you know that your mother

05:23:51.800 --> 05:23:55.800
will be able to win because he's starting the fight with all of his resources.

05:23:57.560 --> 05:24:04.920
I've done such a good job with the Malga, and this was at Dallas Fuel. If you look at the last

05:24:04.920 --> 05:24:11.880
stage, Julian spoke to about this in interviews, but Dave with the different, the off-medity,

05:24:11.880 --> 05:24:17.720
the different non-malga team. The non-malga team. We want to play Winston. We want to play ball.

05:24:17.720 --> 05:24:21.960
We want to play anything but Ryan. We want to play anything but

05:24:22.600 --> 05:24:26.040
Malga. Yeah. And he's coming into an international game. Actually, you know what?

05:24:26.040 --> 05:24:32.840
EMEA, you historically know. Very good. Malga region. And he's kind of giving it to Ice Knight.

05:24:32.840 --> 05:24:38.200
Well, they had to evolve right because you look at the journey through the NA playoffs

05:24:38.200 --> 05:24:44.360
for their region. Day 1 took a loss to Liquid. Liquid, for the most part, were able to dismantle

05:24:44.360 --> 05:24:49.240
heroes so quickly, especially on control, by running Counter Dive because they knew the hero pool

05:24:49.240 --> 05:24:56.920
that Kellyn wanted to be able to secure. So Liquid just went after all of those dive targets, and

05:24:56.920 --> 05:25:04.120
sadly for Dive, there have been some really good heroes put into the game of Overwatch that can

05:25:04.120 --> 05:25:08.440
just totally shut down dive with sure amounts of CC and the first damage with

05:25:08.440 --> 05:25:12.320
fast in-cat because how do you dive something which is constantly in the

05:25:12.320 --> 05:25:17.160
air and has the damage potential and the first window to absolutely melt you

05:25:17.160 --> 05:25:21.800
unless you have damage reduction or a shield something that a lot of our dive

05:25:21.800 --> 05:25:27.000
viewers simply do not have so fair play like absolute huge credit to Kellan

05:25:27.000 --> 05:25:31.440
we've rarely got to see him play the Malga up until that point and then he

05:25:31.440 --> 05:25:37.600
He started picking it up and then suddenly surprised Dallas Fuel first seed from N8.

05:25:37.600 --> 05:25:42.520
Smash and Wheats deciding where they want to go next and what they want to ban.

05:25:42.520 --> 05:25:47.480
We'll see if they end up targeting Helen's here at 4, maybe even just going for one of

05:25:47.480 --> 05:25:49.760
the DPS.

05:25:49.760 --> 05:25:51.760
Ice Noob fans being the crowd of course.

05:25:51.760 --> 05:25:55.280
I'd say there's a tank close before us pretty sweet.

05:25:55.280 --> 05:25:56.280
Yeah, that was.

05:25:56.280 --> 05:26:00.320
They're going to need to sharpen them, that's for sure, because Dallas Fuel will bring the

05:26:00.320 --> 05:26:01.320
heat.

05:26:01.320 --> 05:26:07.940
It did feel like they got pretty deplored in terms of their DPS line like that just was not opportunity

05:26:07.940 --> 05:26:10.620
Especially that second map shrine sanctum

05:26:10.620 --> 05:26:13.940
There's trades back and forth and you can sort of say okay

05:26:13.940 --> 05:26:21.580
Well, they were building up to have momentum and then it got denied off of just kills coming into their backline

05:26:21.940 --> 05:26:29.660
But you compare that performance to shrine and it just felt like the others pro never really got the opportunity to stop

05:26:29.660 --> 05:26:38.020
that first kill onto Landon set the pace of the whole map first rush to the side

05:26:38.020 --> 05:26:42.900
of fuel constantly and no chance for a Shion or Tracer to be able to start

05:26:42.900 --> 05:26:48.420
picking kills or taking attention away to force Dallasfield to have to turn and

05:26:48.420 --> 05:26:53.300
place resources that were funneled towards the frontline and finding picks

05:26:53.300 --> 05:26:59.020
onto Virtus.Pro to have to appeal for their backline. I like this pick here new

05:27:29.020 --> 05:27:31.460
But so is Ramm is the issue.

05:27:31.460 --> 05:27:32.460
This is so sad.

05:27:32.460 --> 05:27:40.700
So, I do like that you're taking that Mauga away because it does also mean that you can't

05:27:40.700 --> 05:27:42.700
hand the Ramm.

05:27:42.700 --> 05:27:45.620
Wait, that goes kinda hard.

05:27:45.620 --> 05:27:46.620
Wait a second.

05:27:46.620 --> 05:27:50.980
I may have just found the best sign of the building.

05:27:50.980 --> 05:27:52.620
Jack's found a favour.

05:27:52.620 --> 05:27:54.420
I'm still searching for mine.

05:27:54.420 --> 05:27:59.700
I think mine's probably one of the illustrated ones, the talent that audience have.

05:27:59.700 --> 05:28:03.220
You know what we're saying? Now watch, the talent is there.

05:28:05.220 --> 05:28:08.020
We'll see if that talent can carry VP.

05:28:08.020 --> 05:28:12.420
First to two still, match point for the fuel, can they continue?

05:28:12.420 --> 05:28:15.420
Can they get revenge for champions clash?

05:28:15.420 --> 05:28:18.820
Jumping in to new junk city.

05:28:20.420 --> 05:28:24.220
His first opening comps here, that's such a risk.

05:28:24.420 --> 05:28:35.920
If you misread what your opponent plays, you just torpedo your chances for first fight, so it feels like the safest thing to do, honestly, is just both go ram.

05:28:35.920 --> 05:28:46.920
Sigma gets run over by ram, Domina gets run over by ram, Rhyme gets absolutely steamrolled by ram without that same TP to be able to set him up.

05:28:46.920 --> 05:28:51.920
Quick tech pause. I think CJ's in ears were on backwards.

05:28:51.920 --> 05:28:54.920
So his left was on right, and right was on left, sorry.

05:28:54.920 --> 05:28:57.920
Hey guys, I'm hearing footsteps on my left!

05:28:57.920 --> 05:29:01.920
Oh wait, no that breaks it hit me from the right.

05:29:01.920 --> 05:29:04.920
We're back, CJ, got it fixed. No problem.

05:29:05.920 --> 05:29:08.920
That would have been absolutely awful.

05:29:11.920 --> 05:29:15.920
Oh that would have been so confusing to have to use this back here.

05:29:15.920 --> 05:29:22.160
the battle it was the front is back and back is front either way CJ got his ear

05:29:22.160 --> 05:29:25.000
bone saw it regardless let's get the skates open

05:29:25.000 --> 05:29:31.080
Kallen on the round no shock although a rhyme would have been a little bit more

05:29:31.080 --> 05:29:37.440
fun okay so if you're actually going for Luke Meno on the Mizuki so he's going

05:29:37.440 --> 05:29:41.640
to have a lot of good brass shirts you'll be able to stop ice nomes momentum

05:29:41.640 --> 05:29:47.640
Running forward with that Nemesis form right into the chains, but Tan's Psycho take the Mizuki down

05:29:48.040 --> 05:29:51.240
With the split pressure of both the Tracer and the Sheen early

05:29:51.800 --> 05:29:56.960
Wow, that was a quick pick. Kronik already fed to Kevster. Very quick of course with that Lucio

05:29:58.160 --> 05:30:03.360
Lukavino and Dallas Fuel they want to be able to rotate around you, VP, the opposite, want to go a little bit quicker

05:30:03.360 --> 05:30:08.640
I mean, first of all, have the means with that Lucio to just out-tempo Dallas Fuel's locations

05:30:08.640 --> 05:30:13.400
Zalcil can try to slow things down from the booting and have more damage for that punk psycho.

05:30:13.400 --> 05:30:16.160
Having to win a 1 vs 2 gets up the fight.

05:30:16.160 --> 05:30:19.160
And they're not gonna happen there. Ice no going very low shield dancer right now.

05:30:19.160 --> 05:30:21.660
Rabbit is Hortex strail, pop the heal up low.

05:30:21.660 --> 05:30:26.240
The support's down low, landing and fix her. Topic, the ram back up.

05:30:26.240 --> 05:30:29.240
Quick flip though for the fuel potentially. Ice no now.

05:30:29.240 --> 05:30:34.240
Trying to patch Kallis on the point both nexus spawns have been used a little late to want though from Ice no.

05:30:34.240 --> 05:30:38.440
But it doesn't really seem to matter. Another good focus flyer there onto Ice.

05:30:38.440 --> 05:30:42.360
CJ with a couple of kills, even killing Psycho 2 with a Q-9.

05:30:42.360 --> 05:30:44.280
How does he get in the cap?

05:30:44.280 --> 05:30:50.120
Look, Mino actually trades his life to get that chain onto Ice, sets up Psycho to take him out,

05:30:50.120 --> 05:30:57.400
but Dowsfield still have more kills on the board and tanks still in play to hold this space for them.

05:30:57.400 --> 05:31:03.880
So, VirtusPro licking their wounds and having to play retake for this next fight.

05:31:03.880 --> 05:31:08.760
Rush available for both Turakos at the same time. We're looking to BPS to find early pit.

05:31:08.760 --> 05:31:12.760
Kepsta quite harsh with a little bit of damage there. Just base tanking Kelen for the time being.

05:31:12.760 --> 05:31:16.680
He's got an annihilation in a couple of moments. Support backline already doing a lot of work here.

05:31:16.680 --> 05:31:20.920
Nala's fuel as the rush gets bought for 4, T.J. ends up going down. A final hurrah maybe.

05:31:20.920 --> 05:31:23.800
As Kepsta hits the execution but it is all soldiered there.

05:31:23.800 --> 05:31:28.440
A triple kill. Fight execution. Straight into some primary fire. Kills Kepsta.

05:31:28.440 --> 05:31:30.120
And that might just be the first point.

05:31:30.120 --> 05:31:32.120
Look at their side-fingers!

05:31:32.120 --> 05:31:35.120
Trying to find where exactly that Turricle went!

05:31:36.120 --> 05:31:41.120
Oh, that's disgusting getting to play within that rush, and that...

05:31:41.120 --> 05:31:45.120
It's not lost by it, but we're still thinking that they have a chance.

05:31:45.120 --> 05:31:46.120
They've got a touch though.

05:31:46.120 --> 05:31:48.120
Landon moved that rush, because they're in that last fight.

05:31:48.120 --> 05:31:49.120
No rush anymore!

05:31:49.120 --> 05:31:52.120
Picsum maybe haven't beaten here, but it'll take a long time for them to actually stall out.

05:31:52.120 --> 05:31:53.120
Nope, not gonna happen.

05:31:53.120 --> 05:31:58.120
Kevster tried to make the hero play, but it was a hero's downfall after that spree Dallas Stueloff of points.

05:31:58.120 --> 05:32:06.120
Fervus Pro again denied a fight win opportunity by Landon falling early and Kerstin now falling late

05:32:06.720 --> 05:32:09.920
Luke Mino on the Mizuki has been on absolute fire

05:32:09.920 --> 05:32:15.040
We normally see him on something like the Wu Yang but that would have been too easy to cycle and Kerstich would have won over

05:32:15.040 --> 05:32:18.880
I really do like the use of this Mizuki instead

05:32:21.200 --> 05:32:23.200
Better positioning for the fuel

05:32:23.800 --> 05:32:26.480
Setting up shot for the back of the point. They got Luke Mino

05:32:26.480 --> 05:32:31.880
with that sanctuary. It's very tough to deal with it, Landon's so low already, look at this.

05:32:31.880 --> 05:32:36.180
Iceman already on the point, trying to contest, he's trying to unlock the land and it goes down first, yet again!

05:32:36.180 --> 05:32:40.080
Chronic with a railgun shot, the annihilation defend is getting popped as well as the soundbar,

05:32:40.080 --> 05:32:44.880
he fixes it to keep everybody alive, happy and well on the point, get to another one.

05:32:44.880 --> 05:32:52.280
Ice ends up going down, point still, yet to be capped here, but it is CJ picking up the pieces of the team fight

05:32:52.280 --> 05:32:54.080
as VP are going to lose control.

05:32:54.080 --> 05:33:00.340
Yeah, Virtus.Pro had signed bar to sustain their annihilation, but they didn't have the damage to be able to burst through kellons

05:33:00.500 --> 05:33:04.220
Which means that Dallasfield despite losing players early to trades

05:33:04.780 --> 05:33:11.020
Still again when I have the fight and Songlet wins for one versus one versus Psycho

05:33:11.020 --> 05:33:15.580
Which means that Virtus.Pro lose that opportunity to hit Dallasfield's backline

05:33:15.780 --> 05:33:22.300
This is them just having to wait for regroup and now having to walk into product with an overclock when they don't have a beat to

05:33:22.300 --> 05:33:28.300
And the rush as well. 80% CJ. Start off with Chronic, hey we don't get a kill, not a problem.

05:33:28.300 --> 05:33:35.300
Then we got Rush, then we can win the fight, and the longer they stall out this point, the more than likely they're gonna weigh out to win this too. 60% already.

05:33:35.300 --> 05:33:41.300
Hello? Pretty long. Fight for Kevster gets in a better position, but Chronic again gets the kill onto Fixer.

05:33:41.300 --> 05:33:48.300
No more Lukamina, but Kevster is just not in this fight whatsoever. Way too hesitant to try and step up, but Chronic is standing in his way.

05:33:48.300 --> 05:33:52.100
OC has been used and now CJ can finish us to one off with a rush.

05:33:52.100 --> 05:33:56.300
Ice Nome on the point to try and trigger OT, but they're actually taking the fight lower.

05:33:56.300 --> 05:34:00.000
Kronig goes down, but Kelen is right behind him.

05:34:00.000 --> 05:34:04.300
Ice Nome with a decent kill with a ravenous vortex, but it is OT for the Dallas Fuel.

05:34:04.300 --> 05:34:07.800
They're at 99% with CG, CJ teleporting away.

05:34:07.800 --> 05:34:13.600
Eventually tracked down, but a beautiful change from Lukamino stops the breathe from hitting the backline.

05:34:13.600 --> 05:34:24.600
Perth's pro denied the opportunity of using that shield, thanks to Lukmino, Galax do a 1% away, 1 fight win away from picking up the second flashpoint

05:34:24.600 --> 05:34:30.600
Shionjun with that cold spawn, Landon, a prime target to go after since he's so close to that rush

05:34:30.600 --> 05:34:40.600
They don't get this rush off, I fear for the worst, recall from Sonjun, waiting for a chance to go in again, Landon playing so damn safe

05:34:40.600 --> 05:34:45.720
say ravenous vortex does hit it though so he's going to teleport forward straight into the rush

05:34:45.720 --> 05:34:51.640
now iceman turning his ire to kelin pretty low is kelin however still got that nemesis form

05:34:51.640 --> 05:34:57.560
popping but eventually it fades away the dps from the bird to spro side are gonna clean up and now

05:34:57.560 --> 05:35:01.560
vp on the verge of taking this point they're starting to hit that stride they're going for

05:35:01.560 --> 05:35:06.120
the backline pressure when the fight's halfway through as opposed to at the start of it so

05:35:06.120 --> 05:35:11.960
Dallasfield don't have the players spare to be able to scout out where the treacher and she on off

05:35:12.320 --> 05:35:16.000
Do we see a touch? Yes, we do just in time from

05:35:18.000 --> 05:35:20.440
His bike straight away trying to find Sunjin

05:35:20.440 --> 05:35:22.040
Kellen's gonna be out to get on the point

05:35:22.040 --> 05:35:26.240
It's gonna refresh the nemesis form with this annihilation plus Sunjin still has that pulse

05:35:26.560 --> 05:35:32.120
Winnable for the Dallas fuel the bird is broke and put a little bit of a damper on their spirits here with the sound barrier

05:35:32.120 --> 05:35:34.580
But Kevster and Kaviks are going down anyway!

05:35:34.580 --> 05:35:37.020
Chronic with a snipe again opens up the fight!

05:35:37.020 --> 05:35:43.180
Oh dear me, Virtus Pro losing members with ult's time and time again!

05:35:43.180 --> 05:35:45.020
Dallas Fuel up to two!

05:35:45.420 --> 05:35:49.380
I mean it's so much easier for Fuel to be able to hit the backline from Virtus Pro, right?

05:35:49.380 --> 05:35:52.940
Because you can just shoot from afar as opposed to being directly on top of them.

05:35:52.940 --> 05:35:57.220
The way that Psycho and Kevster have to be with the Shion and that Tracer.

05:35:57.220 --> 05:36:00.140
So Fixer and Landon just not having a fun time.

05:36:00.140 --> 05:36:07.960
Virtus.pro have to find a way of keeping their backflank safe if they want to be able to have safe chances to continue in this tournament.

05:36:07.960 --> 05:36:13.160
Dallasville one flashpoint away from crushing Virtus.pro's key.

05:36:14.240 --> 05:36:19.720
Double GPS off for the fuel. Fixer still with the feet. You can't go down early, not again, please.

05:36:19.720 --> 05:36:25.500
Land it. It's gonna be under a bit of pressure. There's the sound barrier. Okay, proactivity for Virtus.pro now.

05:36:25.500 --> 05:36:31.100
stop the overclocked and while the conic still gets to you, and look at the black line

05:36:31.100 --> 05:36:36.860
yeah while kelin is dead sojum won hb so it is going to be a bp win wasn't exactly clean though

05:36:36.860 --> 05:36:41.660
yeah if you're a vertus pro right now you're asking terrorist questions like how do we keep losing

05:36:41.660 --> 05:36:45.900
our supports even when we win the fight this should not be happening guys

05:36:45.900 --> 05:37:03.900
Kephse has that spray. You can at least try to use it to win the rush versus rush.

05:37:03.900 --> 05:37:07.900
Oh, no, the suzu! Those are the wipe-itters! The amount of CJ still wins up killing Kephse.

05:37:07.900 --> 05:37:13.900
Okay, hang on a second here. Lukimino does trade, but Kephse's the main source of damage here, pervert as pro.

05:37:13.900 --> 05:37:19.300
Yeah. Now you're looking at Spyko, but what can Spyko do within this rush? It's all about Ice.

05:37:19.300 --> 05:37:24.100
Rush? For Rush here. Now Sondra trying to insert himself into the conversation, into that backline.

05:37:24.100 --> 05:37:26.780
Ice holding his arms, just so steady.

05:37:26.780 --> 05:37:29.800
He needs his annihilation. Pulse bomb goes wide though, he dodges out of it.

05:37:29.800 --> 05:37:32.000
Kester comes back with a spree, he's shut down by Kellen.

05:37:32.000 --> 05:37:36.500
And now Ice just begging Hody to do a ticket damage. There it is! Okay, annihilation on the point.

05:37:36.500 --> 05:37:40.200
Kellen's not going to be able to stand up here, and this annihilation is just going to rip through him.

05:37:40.200 --> 05:37:44.440
They're trying to distract the back one inside to get the blink smack melee onto CJ,

05:37:44.440 --> 05:37:47.640
and now only Luke Camino to try and heal up the rest of the team.

05:37:48.600 --> 05:37:53.080
Good kill, Vontedal is still not allowing them to play for the second stage.

05:37:53.080 --> 05:37:59.000
Quite when Kellen has uncontested annihilation to run through back onto that point,

05:37:59.000 --> 05:38:02.520
when Virtus.pro don't have the sound barrier to stand up to it.

05:38:02.520 --> 05:38:07.000
Virtus.pro remain in the tournament and pull the first flash point,

05:38:07.000 --> 05:38:13.000
but we still have to see them pull out more if they want to be able to find this map win. Dallas

05:38:13.000 --> 05:38:19.800
will have so many ultimates to set them up for this next fight. Kellen's annihilation has to be

05:38:19.800 --> 05:38:25.080
top of concern. Oh, I'm scared for this point especially with Luke being over this ult,

05:38:25.080 --> 05:38:29.880
just drags him off the edge. Speaking of which, there it is. Oh, sniped out of the air, though.

05:38:30.760 --> 05:38:36.120
That's a little rough. Kellen and Ice Snow just looking at each other. There's annihilation

05:38:36.120 --> 05:38:42.120
from Kalin and he's pretty damn low but he has the support CJ just tailing after him making sure

05:38:42.120 --> 05:38:48.840
he's topped up. I'm not happy about losing that round, what do you want? I'm on a second lad and

05:38:48.840 --> 05:38:53.800
Kedzler, I should find three kills. Saiko now looking around for anybody else. Kelle of course

05:38:53.800 --> 05:38:58.040
on the point trying to cap, it's gonna get back up in just a moment. Lukavino's back in the action.

05:38:58.760 --> 05:39:03.480
Saiko has the pulse bomb, Kalin's about to run out of block. You have to get back, yeah you can't

05:39:03.480 --> 05:39:08.480
Can't really stay around here whatsoever. Luke Domino, dashing forward briefly, it's going to have to give up control of the point.

05:39:08.480 --> 05:39:17.480
Good vortex from ice as well, just to make sure that Darsfield can't close up the distance and stop the destroyer's cat. What's Sunjin up to though?

05:39:17.480 --> 05:39:19.480
He's here, folks.

05:39:21.480 --> 05:39:24.480
All that, all chronic, just opening fire again, Sean.

05:39:24.480 --> 05:39:26.160
That post was filthy!

05:39:26.160 --> 05:39:29.520
Soundbar from Fixer's gonna save, and those they try and barrow him forward without Psycho now.

05:39:29.520 --> 05:39:33.040
It's a 4v5 in the front line, as Karanik and Fixer end up trading.

05:39:33.040 --> 05:39:34.960
A cap coming through for the Dallas Fuel as well.

05:39:34.960 --> 05:39:37.860
They've got ult, they managed to flip the fight on this team.

05:39:37.860 --> 05:39:40.100
I mean, Burdus Pro need to react now.

05:39:40.100 --> 05:39:42.740
Songin trying to close the doors on Kepto, they're dangerously low,

05:39:42.740 --> 05:39:44.740
but Songin just never record to play around.

05:39:44.740 --> 05:39:49.480
Psycho's now gonna match up in the 1v1, as this rush from the Burdus Pro side of things

05:39:49.480 --> 05:39:51.600
is just basically useless.

05:39:51.600 --> 05:39:53.100
It's a final.

05:39:54.480 --> 05:39:57.680
This 3 holds for VP.

05:39:57.680 --> 05:40:01.120
Ice Ember's going to wreck the annihilation just to try and stay alive and he needs to

05:40:01.120 --> 05:40:04.160
support to get back, but Connick ends up just isolating him and getting the kill.

05:40:04.160 --> 05:40:06.800
Oh and the Pulse Bomb too.

05:40:06.800 --> 05:40:07.800
Shrugs it off.

05:40:07.800 --> 05:40:12.720
Great Suzy from CJ Chronic just stands still, has full trust that his character will be

05:40:12.720 --> 05:40:16.320
able to cleanse them and Dallas Fuel holds strong.

05:40:16.320 --> 05:40:20.720
Sanctuary should be able to absorb Kev's Despairy so Rage Pro can't even think that

05:40:20.720 --> 05:40:28.560
on that. Extending the fight is what is key here for the fuel. Get this to OT, get

05:40:28.560 --> 05:40:33.920
these ults and get the win. Nerves from Kelen, don't look apparent right now. Full

05:40:33.920 --> 05:40:39.120
confidence from the tank, from the fuel. There's a spree from Kevster, he's also

05:40:39.120 --> 05:40:43.200
making big impact. Only ults for VP right now. There's the annihilation, the sanctuary,

05:40:43.200 --> 05:40:46.480
there's just so much to try and deal with here. Kevster dashes in with the spree,

05:40:46.480 --> 05:40:50.520
3 shots out, Ssangjumper, Istone, the front line for VP, already gone.

05:40:50.520 --> 05:40:57.520
The Dallas Fuel, it's a 4v4 and they have control, Landon, Topple, Vartus Pro, coming

05:40:57.520 --> 05:41:06.320
back on the wrecking ball to get a final touch, but NA's best here, NA's number 1 seed, dismantling

05:41:06.320 --> 05:41:07.320
VP.

05:41:07.320 --> 05:41:13.640
Istone's gonna be able to get another retouch here, with the hopes and dreams of EMEA are

05:41:13.640 --> 05:41:19.040
Fading, Sondjum with a post two, desperation from VP.

05:41:19.040 --> 05:41:25.040
It's five, six, seven touches, but you're going to need a whole lot more than that to stop Kronik.

05:41:25.040 --> 05:41:28.040
Dennis Fjull doing it too.

05:41:28.040 --> 05:41:31.040
A secure spot in the playoffs.

05:41:31.040 --> 05:41:38.040
VP, Annie Emié, their keys are getting crushed.

05:41:38.040 --> 05:41:45.320
He'll put Virtus Pro back to bed. To hibernation, the team will go.

05:41:46.480 --> 05:41:49.680
What a shutdown versus that Rematra composition.

05:41:49.680 --> 05:41:52.040
It just felt like you had all of the control.

05:41:52.040 --> 05:41:56.960
Blu's been up with that Mizuki in absolute standouts on insane chainplays

05:41:56.960 --> 05:41:58.960
to be able to find the connections.

05:41:58.960 --> 05:42:02.600
Aren't you things like that, Shion, the Rematra as well?

05:42:02.600 --> 05:42:06.280
So many times, Helen's able to win the one versus one with Ice,

05:42:06.280 --> 05:42:14.920
Having that annihilation, being able to extend out the Nemesis form to have the block and damage reduction to beat out your opponent,

05:42:15.640 --> 05:42:19.640
for the Playfront Field, the spark has ignited!

05:42:21.240 --> 05:42:26.840
Chronic, look at how many opening picks he had on the SOTAN.

05:42:27.480 --> 05:42:33.800
The amount of just normal rails. No OC, just normal rails.

05:42:33.800 --> 05:42:45.800
the first to two. He just. Did

05:42:45.800 --> 05:42:47.800
not get that opportunity. It

05:42:47.800 --> 05:42:49.800
didn't feel like it whatsoever.

05:42:49.800 --> 05:42:51.800
Now Weets is going to have the

05:42:51.800 --> 05:42:53.800
honor of crushing that key as

05:42:53.800 --> 05:42:55.800
we jump down to him and Ian on

05:42:55.800 --> 05:42:58.800
the stage. What a win for

05:42:58.800 --> 05:43:00.800
number one Dallas fuel. I'm

05:43:00.800 --> 05:43:02.800
standing by with weeks. I mean,

05:43:02.800 --> 05:43:07.120
such a great win, especially considering it was revenge for the champion's class, right?

05:43:07.840 --> 05:43:11.360
Yeah, we've been waiting to get our chance to get them back since Japan, and you know,

05:43:11.360 --> 05:43:14.720
we've all been looking forward to playing Europe the whole time that we've been sitting in NA

05:43:14.720 --> 05:43:19.280
hearing everyone talk about how Europe's way better, so. You're enjoying this even more?

05:43:19.280 --> 05:43:24.960
Very much. Did you manage to catch VP's loss earlier on today against Twisted Minds? Yeah,

05:43:24.960 --> 05:43:28.480
yeah, we watched the whole game because, you know, we played the loser, so we were on. So what did

05:43:28.480 --> 05:43:30.480
What did you learn from it?

05:43:30.480 --> 05:43:32.480
I think we learned that.

05:43:32.480 --> 05:43:34.480
I mean, we were happy to play the other team.

05:43:34.480 --> 05:43:36.480
Honestly, the cops were playing with pretty weak.

05:43:36.480 --> 05:43:39.480
How proud are you of this team right now?

05:43:39.480 --> 05:43:42.480
Because obviously you're the coach, but you're also Serp.

05:43:42.480 --> 05:43:44.480
But you're overlooking all of this.

05:43:44.480 --> 05:43:47.480
I mean, you must be so delighted with how your team's performing.

05:43:47.480 --> 05:43:52.480
Yeah, I'm so proud of my team to make it out of the group to play off.

05:43:52.480 --> 05:43:55.480
So I think coming into this year, a lot of people have had doubts about our roster.

05:43:55.480 --> 05:44:00.480
and I'm just really happy to get to go to playoffs and try and win this whole thing.

05:44:00.480 --> 05:44:03.480
I kind of caught you off guard for the interview.

05:44:03.480 --> 05:44:06.480
I'm going to catch you off guard again right now, because if you look over your shoulder,

05:44:06.480 --> 05:44:09.480
you're about to go crush a key. All right? You up for it?

05:44:09.480 --> 05:44:10.480
I get to do it, wow.

05:44:10.480 --> 05:44:15.480
You get to do it, coaching sub here, stepping up to crush the key.

05:44:15.480 --> 05:44:17.480
If you just go over to our key master, he'll talk you through it.

05:44:17.480 --> 05:44:22.480
Guys, come and watch the process. Get in there.

05:44:22.480 --> 05:44:36.480
Because Virtus.Pro came to Paris, undefeated, EMEA champions, twisted minds, stopped their momentum, Dallas Fuel finished the job.

05:44:36.480 --> 05:44:51.440
And that's a huge one to stay with me just for one more moment here week.

05:44:51.440 --> 05:44:56.340
That's a huge one for Vectors Pro as well in their ambitions to be club champions this

05:44:56.340 --> 05:44:57.340
year.

05:44:57.340 --> 05:44:58.840
They really needed that one.

05:44:58.840 --> 05:45:02.620
But we, I've just got one final question for you here.

05:45:02.620 --> 05:45:06.300
How far do you truly believe this team can go now?

05:45:06.300 --> 05:45:10.100
I believe if we play our game we can beat anyone.

05:45:10.100 --> 05:45:11.860
Well best of luck in the rest of the tournament.

05:45:11.860 --> 05:45:12.860
Who do you want next?

05:45:12.860 --> 05:45:13.860
Any idea?

05:45:13.860 --> 05:45:14.860
I don't know.

05:45:14.860 --> 05:45:16.980
I think we're going to get CRS, Ada, so I'm happy to play either of them.

05:45:16.980 --> 05:45:19.380
Okay, well good luck and thanks again for the interview.

05:45:19.380 --> 05:45:24.900
Wow, one more to go and then we'll find out who everybody plays in our draw show a little

05:45:24.900 --> 05:45:27.900
bit later on.

05:45:27.900 --> 05:45:36.900
Coach, Jake, we see Dallas Field coming out with a surprise 2-0.

05:45:36.900 --> 05:45:39.900
Sojourn, not the only one involved in the victory.

05:45:39.900 --> 05:45:41.900
Who do you give credit to for the W?

05:45:41.900 --> 05:45:44.900
I got to put a lot of credit to Unchronic, right?

05:45:44.900 --> 05:45:46.900
Just like absolutely turning up on the Sojourn,

05:45:46.900 --> 05:45:48.900
found so many critical picks.

05:45:48.900 --> 05:45:52.900
This young player, he was one of the most exciting prospects in North America.

05:45:52.900 --> 05:45:56.900
But this is the type of win that really shows that he can compete on the global stage.

05:45:56.900 --> 05:46:02.180
stages like we said I mean we've been doubting and I think fairly because yeah honestly in Japan

05:46:02.180 --> 05:46:06.660
it was a it was a terrible performance for the region but getting this revenge over Virtus Pro

05:46:06.660 --> 05:46:13.300
this kind of changes everything. Johnny are the American teams retooled at this event or is EMEA

05:46:13.300 --> 05:46:18.500
just choking? I think it has to be a little bit of both here but North America deserves a lot of

05:46:18.500 --> 05:46:23.620
credit because they've heard this narrative like we've said like months now just EMEA is the better

05:46:23.620 --> 05:46:27.540
region. North America, they don't have the talent. They're not as smart as the video game.

05:46:27.540 --> 05:46:31.220
And then you see Dallas Fuelier bring a pretty unique style, pocketing chronic,

05:46:31.220 --> 05:46:34.740
and he does work with all this space to support them and setting an awkward talent,

05:46:34.740 --> 05:46:39.300
doing a fantastic job in the front line there as well. And the damage pairs just coming up

05:46:39.300 --> 05:46:43.300
touch for this team. So, Virtus.pro, this is a really disappointing loss for Virtus.pro,

05:46:43.300 --> 05:46:46.900
who were stacked. They were the number one seed coming out of EMEA. But Dallas Fuel

05:46:46.900 --> 05:46:49.540
deserves a comeback credit because of how this region has leveled up.

05:46:49.540 --> 05:46:55.300
I feel for Virtus Pro and for EMEA fans that have been tuning in, but I'm excited for Dallas.

05:46:55.300 --> 05:47:00.660
Fuel, what is the ceiling for this squad and have you seen it yet at EWC, Jake?

05:47:00.660 --> 05:47:06.020
I mean, honestly, any more wins they get are great to have, but I think they've already

05:47:06.020 --> 05:47:10.260
maybe surpassed my expectations to make it into the top eight. If they could do as well as the top

05:47:10.260 --> 05:47:14.660
four, that would be fantastic. It would be a huge result for this team. But honestly,

05:47:14.660 --> 05:47:18.580
to defeat the EMEA number one seed, it already kind of changes, I think, the way we have to look

05:47:18.580 --> 05:47:21.700
Global Overwatch. This means NA might be back.

05:47:21.700 --> 05:47:27.460
Johnny, are there any new Metas being showners, this same old same old from recent ranked games?

05:47:27.460 --> 05:47:29.860
I mean, honestly, we used to have the Metas in Overwatch,

05:47:29.860 --> 05:47:32.660
where you play this one come for like four months, and who's the best at it?

05:47:32.660 --> 05:47:37.220
These days, you can just play about any hero, and it's about being very comfortable playing

05:47:37.220 --> 05:47:41.300
your style, and that's why I love Dallas Fuel. They play their own game, and they're really

05:47:41.300 --> 05:47:45.540
comfortable doing so, and then they surpass a team like Virtus.Pro, who may be a little over

05:47:45.540 --> 05:47:48.540
eager with all the flexibility and all the compositions they're trying to play.

05:47:48.540 --> 05:47:52.780
Now this was first to two, when we get to the next level, it'll be first to three.

05:47:52.780 --> 05:47:58.060
Does this give Dallas an edge or will this be a handicap for them as they take on some

05:47:58.060 --> 05:47:59.060
number one seeds?

05:47:59.060 --> 05:48:02.460
Well, I mean, as Johnny was just talking about, right, Dallas being this unique team that

05:48:02.460 --> 05:48:05.740
plays their own style, you look at a lot of the best teams in the tournament and you could

05:48:05.740 --> 05:48:07.140
kind of say the same thing about them.

05:48:07.140 --> 05:48:09.260
I mean, think about Crazy Raccoon, think about Zeta.

05:48:09.260 --> 05:48:11.620
They're both teams that have brought their own innovative style.

05:48:11.620 --> 05:48:16.180
So maybe for Dallas, it shouldn't be such a big shock that they make it on to the next

05:48:16.180 --> 05:48:19.540
tier of the tournament to compete with the likes of those squads.

05:48:19.540 --> 05:48:22.340
I gotta say, like this team has been doubted time and time again.

05:48:22.340 --> 05:48:24.260
I don't think I've ever pretty good Dallas fuel this year.

05:48:24.260 --> 05:48:27.740
And so I don't think there's reason for me to start like voting for them now.

05:48:27.740 --> 05:48:28.740
General matter, TASMO.

05:48:28.740 --> 05:48:30.660
I don't think he wants my help at this point.

05:48:30.660 --> 05:48:31.860
So we'll see how they do.

05:48:31.860 --> 05:48:36.900
They shout out to TASMO and Hashtra, of course, bring in Overwatch back to Dallas.

05:48:36.900 --> 05:48:42.820
The Dallas Fuel are surviving into our bracket play as they will reach our top eight.

05:48:42.820 --> 05:48:44.860
We take a look at how Group A has played out.

05:48:44.860 --> 05:48:49.180
It started with Twisted Minds to shock her with a 2-0 over Virtus.pro.

05:48:49.180 --> 05:48:52.780
We thought Virtus.pro should be able to bounce back against NA's best.

05:48:52.780 --> 05:48:56.500
Instead, it is the Fuel advancing to the playoffs.

05:48:56.500 --> 05:48:58.940
T1 also set the Falcons packing.

05:48:58.940 --> 05:49:00.540
What is a bigger surprise?

05:49:00.540 --> 05:49:04.060
The fact that VP or Falcons are out here.

05:49:04.060 --> 05:49:05.700
I would say Virtus.pro, Jake.

05:49:05.700 --> 05:49:12.000
I would say Falkus came in a little bit shaky, Mirtel's back of course, but Virtus.pro, the number one seed of EMEA going out there, that's a big upset for me.

05:49:12.500 --> 05:49:20.200
I'd agree. VP, the EMEA number one seed, EMEA had looked like an amazing region this year, looked like the region 2B globally competitive with the Koreans.

05:49:20.400 --> 05:49:22.100
Now there's two NA teams in the top eight.

05:49:22.100 --> 05:49:22.600
Wow.

05:49:22.700 --> 05:49:29.100
You know, I hate, I'm excited. It's been a while since I really believed in North American Overwatch, but at this point the proof's in the pudding.

05:49:29.100 --> 05:49:32.600
SSG and Dallas are onto the playoffs. Both of them could potentially make a run.

05:49:32.600 --> 05:49:37.880
There's only one spot left in the playoffs, and that belongs to either GK or JDG.

05:49:37.880 --> 05:49:42.280
While we wait for that match on the stage, we're checking with Ginny over at Street Fighter 6.

05:49:55.320 --> 05:49:58.760
It's the third day of groups here over at the Alliance Vault, where we've got some

05:49:58.760 --> 05:50:03.960
streetfire action going on. Elimination still happening. He's still getting crushed. So Trout,

05:50:03.960 --> 05:50:08.680
what's going on? Yes, we kind of went from groups into more groups for day three. So it's still

05:50:08.680 --> 05:50:12.680
eliminations. People again, not down to low bracket and taking out the competition. The most

05:50:12.680 --> 05:50:17.400
important of those, we had a Falcons versus Falcons matchup. So one of them had to be taken out of

05:50:17.400 --> 05:50:21.640
the competition and it was Crimey who took down Mickey. So Mickey out of the competition and

05:50:21.640 --> 05:50:25.080
we're down to one out of three Falcons now. So that's the main story. And obviously we already

05:50:25.080 --> 05:50:29.680
We already found it such and how Xiao Hai was taken out in the earlier stages and he was the favorite.

05:50:29.680 --> 05:50:34.680
So now it's kind of boiling down to all these Asian organizations still a crazier acute in it.

05:50:34.680 --> 05:50:39.680
Big representation from Zayster Division who had to face off against each other as well and the same for Reject 2.

05:50:39.680 --> 05:50:45.480
Obviously these organizations are a bit further down the leaderboard so not as impactful as if Falcons got a win but every point matters.

05:50:45.480 --> 05:50:48.880
Well if you can't beat them, beat yourself I guess that's the story here for Falcons.

05:50:48.880 --> 05:50:52.280
We're going to keep you updated if anything else changes and see you around.

05:51:25.080 --> 05:51:26.120
No, no, no, no!

05:51:26.120 --> 05:51:28.360
No, no, no, no, no, no!

05:51:28.580 --> 05:51:29.160
Get, get!

05:51:29.160 --> 05:51:30.100
AAAAAAAAAAH!

05:51:31.320 --> 05:51:32.220
Hello, friends.

05:51:32.700 --> 05:51:35.500
I thought of something fun to do with the fans.

05:51:35.500 --> 05:51:40.000
I'm going to ask around who the most underrated team is.

05:51:40.400 --> 05:51:42.240
Most underrated team in the tournament.

05:51:42.240 --> 05:51:43.700
What's underrated team is T1.

05:51:44.300 --> 05:51:45.080
T1?

05:51:45.540 --> 05:51:46.100
Okay.

05:51:46.100 --> 05:51:48.740
People don't think they're probably like top 6 right now.

05:51:48.940 --> 05:51:51.940
I think, with Maga being as strong as it is, as strong as it is,

05:51:51.940 --> 05:51:53.580
they're probably going to go a lot farther than people think.

05:51:53.580 --> 05:51:58.900
The number one underrated has got to be SSG obviously, but number two, Liquid.

05:51:58.900 --> 05:52:00.580
Ooh, why, why, why?

05:52:00.580 --> 05:52:03.580
I'm also a bit of a Liquid fan, so...

05:52:03.580 --> 05:52:04.580
You're double dipping?

05:52:04.580 --> 05:52:06.580
Yeah, I'm double dipping.

05:52:06.580 --> 05:52:11.580
I was not happy with how Dallas did Liquid dirty yesterday, I'll say it.

05:52:11.580 --> 05:52:16.580
But I think SSG and Liquid, two best M18s.

05:52:16.580 --> 05:52:21.580
If I had to say you have to choose one that's the most underrated, I'm sorry, I'm putting you on the spot.

05:52:21.580 --> 05:52:23.580
It's got to be SSG, it's got to be SSG.

05:52:23.580 --> 05:52:25.080
I'll say it, I'll say it.

05:52:25.080 --> 05:52:27.080
Sugarbomb for life, Sugarbomb for life.

05:52:28.080 --> 05:52:32.080
I think Dallas is really underrated, especially Sun Jin has been popping off the last games,

05:52:32.080 --> 05:52:35.080
and I think especially Sun Jin is really underrated right now.

05:52:36.080 --> 05:52:39.080
I would say Dallas probably. I think NA is really...

05:52:39.080 --> 05:52:41.080
It's not going that great for him in the past tournaments,

05:52:41.080 --> 05:52:44.080
and I think Dallas can show really great showing of NA this tournament,

05:52:44.080 --> 05:52:47.080
and yeah, great talent for that team.

05:52:47.080 --> 05:52:49.080
I wholeheartedly agree. How about you?

05:52:49.080 --> 05:52:57.080
I'm going to go with Barrel. I think the Japanese teams have improved greatly over the past year or so.

05:52:57.080 --> 05:53:01.080
And yeah, I want to support Barrel and I think they're doing great so far.

05:53:01.080 --> 05:53:07.080
Barrel is definitely underrated as well. I would say if someone asks me, Barrel is underrated and there are so many great teams as well.

05:53:07.080 --> 05:53:12.080
What do you guys think? Who do you think is the most underrated team at EWC?

05:53:19.080 --> 05:53:21.080
King for the brave, you know what I mean

05:53:21.080 --> 05:53:23.080
You see my name on the dice

05:53:23.080 --> 05:53:25.080
That ain't your right, I shan't be

05:54:19.080 --> 05:54:37.080
We've got some called Warzone action happening for day two here over in the

05:54:37.080 --> 05:54:40.720
Kodiya City grid and glitter is of course joining us to give us a bit of an

05:54:40.720 --> 05:54:43.640
update as to what we can be expecting from the club championship points from

05:54:43.640 --> 05:54:46.840
your stage. Yeah because we've got a lot there we're paying attention right now

05:54:46.840 --> 05:54:52.080
Obviously day two groups so by the end of the day six teams will be sent home and their keys will be crushed

05:54:52.080 --> 05:54:54.960
Okay, we will also be sending teams through to finals

05:54:54.960 --> 05:55:01.080
So we're paying attention to how these squads are doing biggest story right now coming out of group A is twisted minds

05:55:01.080 --> 05:55:04.840
They are different champs, but it's a completely different roster than what we saw last time

05:55:04.840 --> 05:55:06.640
So there were some question marks surrounding them

05:55:06.640 --> 05:55:12.560
So however, they were first out of groups yesterday for their group A and now today were four matches in out of six

05:55:12.560 --> 05:55:16.880
They've won two gotten third place in another and gotten fifth in another

05:55:16.880 --> 05:55:23.240
They have not dropped out of the top five spots in four out of six. That's not true. I said it's huge for them

05:55:23.240 --> 05:55:29.680
This is very big it almost pretty much guarantees them all the way through to finals already after this performance

05:55:29.680 --> 05:55:34.840
So they are a CC squad. We're absolutely keeping our eyes on will they defend their title fair minimum

05:55:34.840 --> 05:55:36.360
Will they get some points on the board?

05:55:36.360 --> 05:55:37.880
But then if we're looking down a group B

05:55:37.880 --> 05:55:41.480
They haven't played yet today, but that is where team Falcons are now

05:55:41.480 --> 05:55:42.920
Now they, that's a juicy part.

05:55:42.920 --> 05:55:46.040
Yeah, and they were the favorite heading into this game.

05:55:46.040 --> 05:55:48.880
So people had some really high expectations of them

05:55:48.880 --> 05:55:50.960
and they ended up seventh after their first group

05:55:50.960 --> 05:55:52.040
performance yesterday.

05:55:52.040 --> 05:55:54.200
That's terrible, but not great, right?

05:55:54.200 --> 05:55:55.440
They're looking to do a little bit more.

05:55:55.440 --> 05:55:57.160
So we're gonna see if they bounce back later on

05:55:57.160 --> 05:55:58.120
in the day today.

05:55:58.120 --> 05:56:00.400
Should be interesting to see what happens with that.

05:56:00.400 --> 05:56:01.360
All right, well thank you so much.

05:56:01.360 --> 05:56:03.680
You're a very theoretical championship update.

05:56:03.680 --> 05:56:04.720
That's it from us for now.

05:56:04.720 --> 05:56:05.760
Hope you guys are enjoying these.

05:56:05.760 --> 05:56:08.160
And if you're not, well, this I gotta keep coming.

05:56:11.480 --> 05:56:28.200
Welcome in to the 20th and final match of the group stages.

05:56:28.200 --> 05:56:32.760
This one decides who is going to be the eighth team making it into our playoff bracket and

05:56:32.760 --> 05:56:36.720
who is getting on an airplane at the end of the night.

05:56:36.720 --> 05:56:38.480
It's been a fun ride up to this point.

05:56:38.480 --> 05:56:41.460
We got to welcome in Zoe and Rand Force for the final ride.

05:56:41.460 --> 05:56:46.500
This one should be good, JDG, the surprise of the tournament, able to surprise everyone

05:56:46.500 --> 05:56:47.500
yesterday.

05:56:47.500 --> 05:56:52.380
They're going up against GK, who fell at the start of the day, will start with GK.

05:56:52.380 --> 05:56:56.420
Where are they at and your power rankings and what did they show you so far at UWC?

05:56:56.420 --> 05:57:01.740
I mean, they had to go up against a very good opponent earlier today, so I think they shouldn't

05:57:01.740 --> 05:57:04.020
like take that result to a heart.

05:57:04.020 --> 05:57:07.740
And quite frankly, I think they even in their loss, they actually really showed up.

05:57:07.740 --> 05:57:14.580
I feel like they played phenomenally when they were at quite severe disadvantages, like in terms of ultimates and what not.

05:57:14.580 --> 05:57:17.980
They managed to win fights with Gragas, so I regard this.

05:57:17.980 --> 05:57:22.140
So I think overall their performance, even in their loss, has been very promising.

05:57:22.620 --> 05:57:28.940
I think if you're looking at these two teams' pocket, I can't wait because this is essentially just a barrel of explosives.

05:57:28.940 --> 05:57:36.900
Both of these teams are just full of mechanical prowess and individual skill, and sometimes they work more mechanically.

05:57:36.900 --> 05:57:42.500
I mean you think back to like DK, two of these guys were in the eSports World Cup finals last year,

05:57:42.500 --> 05:57:48.460
Labda, and we're talking about Ziad, it's like this 18 year old probably, who finally now might have a chance to play some D.Va,

05:57:48.460 --> 05:57:53.460
that's his signature specialist hero, and then on the other side, Gettigaming, they're just, yeah, we're gonna play Wrecking Ball,

05:57:53.460 --> 05:57:56.420
don't build up some of the out there, let's play Tracer and Ziad, etc.

05:57:56.420 --> 05:58:02.980
Now did you just say Ziad is better at D.Va than he was on Nalgir, because he was looking incredible on the tag earlier in the tournament?

05:58:02.980 --> 05:58:07.180
Oh, the D.Va was just like phenomenal, arguably like best in the world last year.

05:58:07.180 --> 05:58:10.660
And obviously this year has had to play more Malga and more Amatra.

05:58:10.660 --> 05:58:13.420
And I just don't think that is his favorite here at the place.

05:58:13.420 --> 05:58:15.580
But this matchup might get up that opportunity.

05:58:15.580 --> 05:58:18.660
So we got about a minute 20 before we get to the stage.

05:58:18.660 --> 05:58:22.540
So let's talk about JDG because they beat up on Team Secret.

05:58:22.780 --> 05:58:25.660
They did indeed that set though. Secret.

05:58:25.660 --> 05:58:26.500
Yeah, that smile.

05:58:27.340 --> 05:58:30.060
I mean, I feel so because they were extremely dominant.

05:58:30.060 --> 05:58:33.900
Pineapple and Kinect keep the damage to it. They were absolutely popping up.

05:58:33.900 --> 05:58:39.900
Now, I already mentioned Phyllis Ria's ball was phenomenal, like exemplary, picture book, perfect.

05:58:40.700 --> 05:58:45.980
Talking to Lord Chambers yesterday, he was saying if you would have told 20 road in that I would

05:58:45.980 --> 05:58:52.300
be talking to a lad named Pineapple and crushing keys, I tell you you're a liar. But here we are,

05:58:52.300 --> 05:58:58.700
2026, Zoe. We all still have careers somehow and this team is now thriving on our EWC stage.

05:58:58.700 --> 05:59:04.640
Yeah, they keep on hiring us not entire sure why but please continue on that trajectory. We do love to see

05:59:05.600 --> 05:59:07.600
That's right. That's kind of crazy though

05:59:07.600 --> 05:59:11.880
We're gonna we're gonna see you in chambers in about 25 seconds. So before we do

05:59:12.160 --> 05:59:17.080
Let's talk about the numbers 79% of the fans are going GK. How confident are you?

05:59:17.920 --> 05:59:21.520
You should be the favorites here, but this is upset alerts similar to the matchup

05:59:21.520 --> 05:59:27.600
We just saw if GK overthink things they could be in trouble. So you got I I got GK for this one

05:59:27.600 --> 05:59:31.840
but I do think that the JVG, at least on control, could sneak him up away.

05:59:31.840 --> 05:59:37.600
It is the final match of the group stages. Thank you for watching EWC. It's over.

05:59:57.600 --> 06:00:07.600
Ladies and gentlemen, I can't wait to have so much emotion on this third day of Overwatch,

06:00:07.600 --> 06:00:13.600
my heart broken, on the Japanese side of Varelle, we have our representatives in EMEA who have also fallen.

06:00:13.600 --> 06:00:16.600
At Virtus.pro, we've seen a lot of heartbreaking stories.

06:00:16.600 --> 06:00:23.600
The eliminations of my favorites, Varel, the Japanese team, Virtus.pro, our EMEA champions, are out.

06:00:23.600 --> 06:00:27.600
men, which heart is going to get broken again on this last spot?

06:00:27.600 --> 06:00:31.600
Another one, that's for sure Lou, and I'm going to give you a little peek behind the curtain.

06:00:31.600 --> 06:00:36.600
We're lucky enough to be behind the scenes here and seeing all the players before and after the matches.

06:00:36.600 --> 06:00:41.600
And the heartbreak really is true, it's real and pre-match as well.

06:00:41.600 --> 06:00:46.600
The tension in the air is palpable and that is because all of them want to stay in this tournament

06:00:46.600 --> 06:00:49.600
to become the mid-season champions and lift this.

06:00:49.600 --> 06:00:56.080
the trophy, the money of course for our last spot in play of the first contenders are

06:00:56.080 --> 06:01:00.080
GKE Sports!

06:01:05.080 --> 06:01:14.080
EMEA, especially MENA representatives, they pushed the EMEA champions to the absolute limit

06:01:14.080 --> 06:01:21.080
And they proved that they could be very dangerous on the Parisian scene.

06:01:21.080 --> 06:01:27.080
True dark horses in the field, but now back against the wall.

06:01:27.080 --> 06:01:30.080
Can they take down their opponent?

06:01:30.080 --> 06:01:37.080
The opponent is standing by, and it's JD Gaming!

06:01:37.080 --> 06:01:48.960
Now that tournament began with defeat, but when elimination came calling, JDG answered

06:01:48.960 --> 06:01:53.240
with a ruthless 2-0 win.

06:01:53.240 --> 06:01:57.800
They have already fought their way back from the edge once, and here and now in Paris they

06:01:57.800 --> 06:02:00.680
stand on the brink of it once again.

06:02:00.680 --> 06:02:10.680
EMEA vs China, pick your champion, JDG or GK. Get your last ticket to the playoffs.

06:02:15.680 --> 06:02:25.680
That's right. The last ticket to the playoffs is going to be granted to either JDG or GK Esports.

06:02:25.680 --> 06:02:30.320
This is the first time they're facing off against each other moxie.

06:02:30.320 --> 06:02:36.080
GK just came off of a series which honestly could have gone their way.

06:02:36.080 --> 06:02:39.320
A 2-1 versus Zayton of all people.

06:02:39.320 --> 06:02:45.520
Yeah, that new jump city, they looked a team on fire.

06:02:45.520 --> 06:02:48.600
Labda's sojourn especially.

06:02:48.600 --> 06:02:52.480
From pepsi courts, that really takes you back.

06:02:52.480 --> 06:02:55.920
But for JDGaming, they're taking us forward.

06:02:55.920 --> 06:03:00.120
We're getting to see what Chinese Overwatch matters look like.

06:03:00.120 --> 06:03:05.640
We've been 2026 Wable gaming already through a huge achievement.

06:03:05.640 --> 06:03:14.320
JDGaming now, they want to see if they can join their teams to represent in the playoffs.

06:03:14.320 --> 06:03:17.640
For me, I want to see the starting lineup.

06:03:17.640 --> 06:03:20.240
Will it be Belisrael? Will it be Roxy?

06:03:20.240 --> 06:03:26.480
I feel like they have more success from Bellas Reyes in just for the flexibility that we've talked about because he gave

06:03:26.880 --> 06:03:30.400
They will force them to have to swap through a fair few

06:03:30.860 --> 06:03:36.920
Compositions as we have a look at our band Samoa the control map no surprises

06:03:37.160 --> 06:03:38.280
Mauga

06:03:38.280 --> 06:03:45.360
Staple of the control matter and jetpack cat purely because you can slot them into pretty much every

06:03:45.360 --> 06:03:50.860
position. Yeah, it definitely

06:03:50.860 --> 06:03:52.860
feels like that at this point.

06:03:52.860 --> 06:03:53.860
Doesn't matter. You don't have

06:03:53.860 --> 06:03:55.860
to win the bash. You can do it

06:03:55.860 --> 06:03:56.860
with a cast. You can do it with

06:03:56.860 --> 06:03:58.860
a soldier like it's whatever,

06:03:58.860 --> 06:04:00.860
but we won't see it here. The

06:04:00.860 --> 06:04:02.860
support lineups going to go

06:04:02.860 --> 06:04:04.860
something a little bit different.

06:04:04.860 --> 06:04:06.860
And honestly, GK's support lineups

06:04:06.860 --> 06:04:12.860
to be fair. I mean, Kellex that

06:04:12.860 --> 06:04:18.740
day one, like beta, he's been around. And Finn too, I think Finn's hero pool, extremely

06:04:18.740 --> 06:04:23.940
deep. So we'll see how they end up kind of navigating this one. No Mauga, of course,

06:04:23.940 --> 06:04:28.180
for this game time, which is normally what's the other people are now. Bella Sreja and

06:04:28.180 --> 06:04:31.820
JD Gaming decided, you know what, we're going to take you something a little bit more uncomfortable,

06:04:31.820 --> 06:04:37.740
maybe, or maybe even something a little bit interesting. Bella Sreja, you go on the pool,

06:04:37.740 --> 06:04:40.380
my guy, but really down on this stage.

06:04:40.380 --> 06:04:47.740
Yeah, this seems like JD Gaming have sort of found identity within this really

06:04:47.740 --> 06:04:52.220
pressuring composition where your attention's constantly drawn to having to deal with

06:04:52.220 --> 06:04:56.540
Racking Ball, having to deal with the Wu Yang Spam, but for Volcano, probably not.

06:04:56.540 --> 06:05:01.500
Once more likely that we'll get to see that Rematra versus Rematra, the main wrinkle being

06:05:01.500 --> 06:05:05.500
laughter on the Cassidy pineapple the Sojin. We've already seen the pick potential that

06:05:05.500 --> 06:05:10.300
that Sojin has a neutral Kineki on that May as well, wanting to try to find

06:05:10.300 --> 06:05:13.900
Isolations versus the deck. Yeah, our silly heroes aren't going to be that May and that

06:05:13.900 --> 06:05:21.020
Sim for JDGaming and GK. Really early, push off to this high ground with that TP,

06:05:21.020 --> 06:05:26.060
you're able to get there so quick, plus Pelix's speed. You two though, with that poke on the

06:05:26.060 --> 06:05:30.220
Weeang, does mean that JDGaming have more damage before these fights start.

06:05:30.220 --> 06:05:37.220
Wow, that is great. So lucky. Deal with that turret. It's a good way to 3 punches.

06:05:37.220 --> 06:05:42.220
Lap is hitting shots. He's already 50% dead. I put it to the May that falls first.

06:05:42.220 --> 06:05:47.220
Yeah, me too was trying to get the pocket there, but a good TP from Alphie as well is going to catch up in U2.

06:05:49.220 --> 06:05:59.220
That's just Duké forcing JD Gaming to have to bid a Hasty Retreat and a Hasty Console to Kineke actually off of the May onto the Sheon.

06:06:00.220 --> 06:06:04.780
knows that GK would just be impossible to be able to totally lock down with both

06:06:04.780 --> 06:06:10.620
the Lucio and the Sim to be able to work around those walls after those 80% to the

06:06:10.620 --> 06:06:16.940
first dead eye which means that you have to keep an eye on where Alpha E teleports him.

06:06:16.940 --> 06:06:22.480
So it'll be tough to try and get into the face of GK even on something like a

06:06:22.480 --> 06:06:27.820
she-on. Look at that an aggressive push there from Lada. Oh Delta, there a few bullets there

06:06:27.820 --> 06:06:31.140
Kineke rips his head off with those twin pistols.

06:06:31.140 --> 06:06:31.820
Yeah.

06:06:31.820 --> 06:06:34.060
Diaz gonna try and go even onto the point,

06:06:34.060 --> 06:06:35.820
but it is Kalex that goes down next.

06:06:35.820 --> 06:06:39.020
A very clean fight from JD gaming in the neutral.

06:06:39.020 --> 06:06:41.460
Yeah, you saw it when we were looking at the map overhead, right?

06:06:41.460 --> 06:06:43.900
Kineke, Mewtwo's both actually.

06:06:43.900 --> 06:06:47.540
Stacked the left side lane, walk onto Laptis position,

06:06:47.540 --> 06:06:49.900
find the kill on the casting, we're at the casting,

06:06:49.900 --> 06:06:52.060
GK don't have the damage,

06:06:52.060 --> 06:06:55.700
nor the stop and potential to slow JD gaming down.

06:06:55.700 --> 06:06:59.300
And now they're in a great position, especially with teleport already being used.

06:07:00.500 --> 06:07:01.600
And...

06:07:01.600 --> 06:07:02.600
Abrey pours.

06:07:03.100 --> 06:07:04.100
What are your issues?

06:07:04.100 --> 06:07:06.600
Please don't say you've got your ear.

06:07:08.600 --> 06:07:09.600
Not again.

06:07:10.600 --> 06:07:14.500
We'll have to see how exactly this Jedi is employed.

06:07:14.500 --> 06:07:17.100
It isn't an ear issue, just getting word from Rod.

06:07:18.600 --> 06:07:19.100
I mean...

06:07:19.100 --> 06:07:19.600
They've done it again.

06:07:19.600 --> 06:07:21.400
They need to write L and R on the...

06:07:21.400 --> 06:07:22.800
Yeah, left, left, right.

06:07:23.100 --> 06:07:24.300
That would be quite good.

06:07:24.300 --> 06:07:31.900
But at least the poor should be pretty short. Yeah, let's the back of that one simply just switch the sides around. Okay

06:07:31.900 --> 06:07:35.300
I don't want to call it now. I don't know if it was that issue or not

06:07:35.860 --> 06:07:38.460
But I was just assuming I was just a shit

06:07:38.940 --> 06:07:40.500
JD win

06:07:40.500 --> 06:07:44.380
Signed there in the audience still a lot of Chinese fans turning up the journey game

06:07:44.380 --> 06:07:48.340
Especially how well they've done so far. I'm see if they can continue that here

06:07:48.580 --> 06:07:50.580
There's gonna be a rush to start us off the fight

06:07:50.580 --> 06:07:58.300
They've been bricking it really early, Munk's gonna try and match behind you, and all the point is Seatad is just getting absolutely wrecked in the frontline.

06:07:58.800 --> 06:08:03.840
Yeah, I find Apple just swinging out with that Overclock, Laptop trying to hold their space.

06:08:04.240 --> 06:08:07.240
The rush vs. rush, GK thought that they would be able to win it.

06:08:08.140 --> 06:08:14.540
But GD Gaming, they called the bluff, they sent the Overclock and Laptop finds nothing but the dead I accept to talk to the soldier.

06:08:14.540 --> 06:08:17.280
I can reengage it.

06:08:17.280 --> 06:08:19.280
U2 dashes away.

06:08:19.280 --> 06:08:20.280
Whoa!

06:08:20.280 --> 06:08:21.280
That's the title.

06:08:21.280 --> 06:08:22.280
Okay, sure.

06:08:22.280 --> 06:08:23.280
That was a...

06:08:23.280 --> 06:08:24.280
You're bad.

06:08:24.280 --> 06:08:26.280
You used the title pass to be honest with you, U2.

06:08:26.280 --> 06:08:30.500
He was in a little bit of danger, but almost felt like a crapfinger almost, although you

06:08:30.500 --> 06:08:35.040
snatched a quick two keys to get that done, so GK get an all-town 4th, 3th.

06:08:35.040 --> 06:08:39.480
That looks so close to the sign bar, I see, which means that Ziad annihilations so close

06:08:39.480 --> 06:08:40.480
him.

06:08:40.480 --> 06:08:41.480
Oh, well, there's the annihilation.

06:08:41.480 --> 06:08:42.480
Ziad, that was free up.

06:08:42.480 --> 06:08:44.480
The head actually swaps on to the D.C.A.T.

06:08:44.480 --> 06:08:46.480
They couldn't be closer if they tried.

06:08:46.480 --> 06:08:48.480
But the S.R.I.D. is trying to stay alive.

06:08:48.480 --> 06:08:50.480
But the S.R.I.D. does it again.

06:08:50.480 --> 06:08:52.480
The lay-beat from Kalex might not be it.

06:08:52.480 --> 06:08:54.480
Yeah, there's just no way.

06:08:54.480 --> 06:08:56.480
But the S.R.I.D. does get traded though.

06:08:56.480 --> 06:08:58.480
Hang on a second.

06:08:58.480 --> 06:09:00.480
Kalex is the only one to fall to it.

06:09:00.480 --> 06:09:02.480
A good little war dance there from a G.K.

06:09:02.480 --> 06:09:04.480
Despite using S.R.I.D. super early on,

06:09:04.480 --> 06:09:06.480
they managed to clutch up Alpha.

06:09:06.480 --> 06:09:08.480
Yee comes up massive with the ult.

06:09:08.480 --> 06:09:10.480
The head actually swaps on to the D.C.A.T.

06:09:10.480 --> 06:09:17.440
The head actually swaps on to the D.va desk mentioned how good his hero pool is on that D.va

06:09:17.760 --> 06:09:21.720
Kaila with one sided brushes while JD gaming having to spend time

06:09:21.800 --> 06:09:25.960
If they want to be able to build up months old to be able to match his new shoes outside

06:09:25.960 --> 06:09:29.280
The D.va's off goes to the brig to be able to play counter

06:09:31.880 --> 06:09:33.880
It's got much money though

06:09:34.440 --> 06:09:36.440
They probably don't want to go too quick

06:09:36.440 --> 06:09:41.440
It would have just hang around for a moment. Now they can find a fight, but that is a good opening kick from LAPD.

06:09:41.440 --> 06:09:45.440
Okay, fights done, fights over. Retreat! Hold S, J.D. Gaming!

06:09:45.440 --> 06:09:49.440
Oh, I'm forcing you with Belisria going down. This is looking final fight.

06:09:49.440 --> 06:09:52.440
I mean, GK, like you said, is perfect for that fight.

06:09:52.440 --> 06:09:55.440
Oh, not another pick, surely. No, Konecki can't die.

06:09:55.440 --> 06:09:59.440
Okay, Konecki's gonna get back at the very final moments. Belisria, he's going ball.

06:09:59.440 --> 06:10:01.440
Yeah, you have to go ball. Mewtwo on the loose.

06:10:01.440 --> 06:10:05.440
You're just to push J.D. Gaming onto the point to get the opportunity to use month rush versus fins.

06:10:05.440 --> 06:10:07.440
the game. And the last one is

06:10:07.440 --> 06:10:09.440
the last one. And the last one

06:10:09.440 --> 06:10:11.440
is the last one. And the last

06:10:11.440 --> 06:10:13.440
one is the last versus spins,

06:10:13.440 --> 06:10:15.440
but lab to with that overclock

06:10:15.440 --> 06:10:16.440
means that he gave such an

06:10:16.440 --> 06:10:17.440
advantage for the last fight. Nice

06:10:17.440 --> 06:10:18.440
move from the TV. Can we get

06:10:18.440 --> 06:10:19.440
another one? Another one? Another

06:10:19.440 --> 06:10:21.440
boot? Oh, he doesn't get

06:10:21.440 --> 06:10:23.440
then perfect double boot from

06:10:23.440 --> 06:10:25.440
Seattle and then Kellex

06:10:25.440 --> 06:10:30.440
following up really nice stuff.

06:10:30.440 --> 06:10:33.440
Just getting to play the lab

06:10:33.440 --> 06:10:38.440
And you don't have to have an up-fold up to be able to find it when you have that rail charge.

06:10:39.440 --> 06:10:46.440
And here's the thing, fighting against Ramteams, like that shield, it's so easy for a soldier to be able to punish.

06:10:46.440 --> 06:10:58.440
As we have a look at some of the replays, this is insane here, this is DK perfectly playing around teleporter and symbol to be able to touch the damage of that she-on-screen.

06:10:58.440 --> 06:11:00.440
I'm surprised you're out of the house.

06:11:00.440 --> 06:11:02.440
Great stuff from R for you.

06:11:04.440 --> 06:11:05.440
Alright, back to it.

06:11:05.440 --> 06:11:08.440
V2, back on the Wooyang Connection.

06:11:08.440 --> 06:11:12.440
And while I get on the Shea on GK doing same old same old EU things,

06:11:12.440 --> 06:11:15.440
the MEA things, TV and R for you.

06:11:15.440 --> 06:11:17.440
Yeah, Zad on the Ram as well.

06:11:17.440 --> 06:11:19.440
Those are fellas rare with Punish.

06:11:19.440 --> 06:11:22.440
We're through a map which is melting through that diesel mech

06:11:22.440 --> 06:11:25.440
if you try to give a go of it.

06:11:25.440 --> 06:11:28.880
GK already on this point though will be pretty hard for JD Gaming to unseat.

06:11:28.880 --> 06:11:30.380
What?

06:11:30.380 --> 06:11:33.380
How are we dying so early?

06:11:33.380 --> 06:11:35.880
It was like a right flick into a right flick with the Simmin.

06:11:35.880 --> 06:11:38.380
Oh, that was a nice shot.

06:11:38.380 --> 06:11:40.380
Wow, ladder.

06:11:40.380 --> 06:11:42.880
Got a little bit of rest this time as well.

06:11:42.880 --> 06:11:44.880
Not coming straight off the plane.

06:11:44.880 --> 06:11:51.080
The issue for JD Gaming is that they don't have the Sim to make up for the absence of Galucia.

06:11:51.080 --> 06:11:56.020
So, if GK just walked towards JD Gaming, how do they escape them?

06:11:56.020 --> 06:12:02.500
How, actually, do they even have the opportunity to take angles against laptop before he's already dead?

06:12:02.500 --> 06:12:04.940
The answer is, they simply do not.

06:12:05.440 --> 06:12:10.140
This has to be a perfect retake and it has to come off of more angle pressure from Kineki.

06:12:12.640 --> 06:12:16.260
Alright, Ziye, I don't remember right now if GK2 touched the point, it's Kineki.

06:12:16.260 --> 06:12:22.060
And Mewtwo wants to again try the same thing, trying to get an off-rangle with the Wu Yang and the Xiong.

06:12:22.060 --> 06:12:25.660
They're gonna spot the teleports, but Bellas Rare is just getting dominated in the frontline.

06:12:25.660 --> 06:12:29.460
Bunk's gonna fall down. Yeah, I'll be basically just sits there, hold them one.

06:12:30.060 --> 06:12:30.660
There you go.

06:12:31.260 --> 06:12:33.260
How to play Sim 101 against the Ramm.

06:12:34.060 --> 06:12:37.460
But Paul Bellas Rare, he's always short-handed when it comes to the heals too,

06:12:37.460 --> 06:12:41.860
because Mewtwo is being paired with Kineke, which means that you only have character as opposed to BK.

06:12:41.860 --> 06:12:48.500
We get to use Kellix to push forward, but also have to heal alongside Finn, so JD gaming understanding, okay?

06:12:48.500 --> 06:12:54.260
There are matters to vulnerable alone. Let's put Belisrare on to Paul, and let's just try to disrupt GK.

06:12:57.060 --> 06:12:59.060
Right, don't die first, Charlie.

06:13:00.260 --> 06:13:06.660
Belisrare back on the Paul, okay. Look at the ults over GK. They've got a whole bunch of them. They're just gonna run for it. W, F1, cop.

06:13:06.660 --> 06:13:10.020
Uh oh, can't get caught here. Nice little slam, allowed to get Suzu though.

06:13:10.020 --> 06:13:13.220
He's still hunting for bodies, hunting for heads, monks already down and this is all

06:13:13.220 --> 06:13:18.360
falling apart. Did he get me too, get the cap? Okay, hey, see that one away? No problem.

06:13:18.360 --> 06:13:24.020
GK just gonna hold S and go back to the point and get the Reveal, only 7% gain, not much

06:13:24.020 --> 06:13:29.420
here, and still 5 volts almost for GK. Mewtwo at least with that title blast, but

06:13:29.420 --> 06:13:33.460
Ladder would be under the plot. They're gonna chase him down. Look at this, there's a

06:13:33.460 --> 06:13:38.220
Spree coming soon for Kineke, he's got the title last on his first though, hops on the bike and gets out of there real quick.

06:13:38.220 --> 06:13:42.300
Alphie just puts off that wall and not much shaming gaming can do about it.

06:13:42.300 --> 06:13:46.300
Annihilation now getting botched as they just run them down.

06:13:46.300 --> 06:13:49.700
Pineapple Munk fallen, a late sound barrier.

06:13:50.540 --> 06:13:55.460
GK look straight up comfortable, they look at home on this cop.

06:13:55.460 --> 06:13:59.700
And that is gonna be destruction on map number one.

06:13:59.700 --> 06:14:01.340
That did not feel close.

06:14:01.340 --> 06:14:09.340
Now, JDGamble, they take so long to try to have these splits from their team, that GK

06:14:09.340 --> 06:14:14.660
understands, okay, well if you're sending 3 players around the side, a Wuyan, a Xion,

06:14:14.660 --> 06:14:19.500
and a Wrecking Ball, suddenly your Kiriko has 3 players who are without the range to

06:14:19.500 --> 06:14:27.060
teleport to, so what if we just press W, get a speed with Lucio, send Ziad on the round

06:14:27.060 --> 06:14:36.560
running right at you and you topple over when rush is full and you don't get to use it to leverage your way for a main on to point.

06:14:39.560 --> 06:14:46.860
It's ironic, you know, that it was Sheehan that JD Gaming were playing because it feels like there was no foot on the gas pedal.

06:14:50.260 --> 06:14:52.260
There's no forward momentum.

06:14:52.260 --> 06:15:03.260
Maybe lacking a little confidence. Remember what Kinecti was doing the other day. I mean, he was on fire for JD gaming. Looks like a complete opposite here. Looks like they've been doused.

06:15:03.260 --> 06:15:09.260
So if we look where we want to go, we'll be JD gaming with the map pick. Karma is going to sort that out.

06:15:12.260 --> 06:15:21.260
Where do you go here? Like normally we see if the CN teams lose control, pivot tends to be flashpoint.

06:15:22.260 --> 06:15:30.460
Though with how dominant that control was, I feel like they might try to avoid it, especially

06:15:30.460 --> 06:15:36.340
because Ram is really good on Flashpoint at just running at you.

06:15:36.340 --> 06:15:42.740
Hey, it feels like an EMEA type game, I'm just saying.

06:15:42.740 --> 06:15:44.980
Pits in the playstyle really, really well.

06:15:44.980 --> 06:15:50.380
Now, we're going to start off with the Bands course as well.

06:15:50.380 --> 06:15:55.060
with the GK. I mean, we just, we just panned over them. Yeah. Not a carry on the well,

06:15:55.060 --> 06:16:01.740
not a bother, not a worry. Straight chilling. It could be a Route 66, I feel. JD Gaming was

06:16:01.740 --> 06:16:10.180
really good on Route 66 when they were able to go for this heavy dive wrecking ball, soldier

06:16:10.180 --> 06:16:16.620
and tracer. And then if fellas were as he reports, found out, you have that hazard to

06:16:16.620 --> 06:16:22.780
be able to pivot to, but they really do like things like that. She on the tracer, the ball,

06:16:22.780 --> 06:16:28.540
the curico, the break, was what they actually played on attack the last time we got to see

06:16:28.540 --> 06:16:39.860
them play Route 66. I just, I worry with how well-equipped GK were to be able to deal with

06:16:39.860 --> 06:16:44.660
a composition which is meant to put you into chaos, right? The thing about the rack and

06:16:44.660 --> 06:16:49.220
ball that she on the trace it's it's meant to overwhelm you you're meant to

06:16:49.220 --> 06:16:54.460
panic you're meant to have not a lot of time to be able to work out where you

06:16:54.460 --> 06:16:59.700
want to go how you want to play so the fact that DK just went before it was

06:16:59.700 --> 06:17:04.580
set up means they totally sidesteped all of the things that that composition

06:17:04.580 --> 06:17:09.080
should be making hard in fact they made it easy

06:17:09.080 --> 06:17:18.080
The Wu Yang didn't really feel too good, especially as they kind of struggled to get in their faces too.

06:17:18.080 --> 06:17:23.080
Even when you hit a tidal blast in a tank or whatever, you need a lot of follow-up to be able to hit that.

06:17:23.080 --> 06:17:27.080
Ideally, you hit it in support of course, or a DPS, just a kind of one pop-up.

06:17:27.080 --> 06:17:29.080
Will we reach 66?

06:17:29.080 --> 06:17:36.080
I think one of the issues as well of the Wu Yang was that there was just not a whole lot of tidal blasts pulled up.

06:17:36.080 --> 06:17:41.220
One, you don't get opportunity to heal your players because you're playing with your Shion,

06:17:41.220 --> 06:17:48.080
so if your Shion loses the fight, that's your Wu Yang gone as well.

06:17:48.080 --> 06:17:59.140
Jericho ban that we get, and then Shion ban to start really looking at taking down our

06:17:59.140 --> 06:18:06.020
JD Gaming like to go through chaotic styles of plays, take as many lanes as possible,

06:18:06.020 --> 06:18:08.820
avoid your front line, look to hit the back.

06:18:12.580 --> 06:18:17.300
Yeah, that's how Kineke found so much success yesterday, was on the Xion.

06:18:17.860 --> 06:18:20.500
So, probably a pivot to the Sojourn.

06:18:20.500 --> 06:18:29.500
Sojourn Tracer tends to be what they opt for if that she on that has been banned.

06:18:29.500 --> 06:18:32.500
But if you're geeky, you're happy about that, right?

06:18:32.500 --> 06:18:35.500
Lapted's best hero has to be his soldier.

06:18:35.500 --> 06:18:36.500
100%.

06:18:36.500 --> 06:18:43.500
This was a guy who was touted as being able to match quarts at points.

06:18:43.500 --> 06:18:44.500
And sometimes.

06:18:44.500 --> 06:18:45.500
Better than quarts.

06:18:45.500 --> 06:18:46.500
Yeah.

06:18:46.500 --> 06:18:51.620
Yeah, that's a very scary thing to have on your team. Well, very, very good thing to have on your team.

06:18:51.620 --> 06:18:53.900
They're very scary for everybody else that's fighting against it.

06:18:53.900 --> 06:18:58.980
Route 66 is locked in first to two. Here we go.

06:18:58.980 --> 06:19:03.700
GK one map away from locking in the final spot.

06:19:03.700 --> 06:19:12.180
These groups, JD Gaming, they might be swiftly booking their flight home if they don't kind of lock in.

06:19:12.180 --> 06:19:20.580
So, my concern with JD Gaming taking us to Route 66 is that you and I, we actually cast

06:19:20.580 --> 06:19:26.780
both of the times they went to Route 66, one of which was up against Lethal on the Sojourn,

06:19:26.780 --> 06:19:32.740
twice on first point Lethal was able to flank uncontested, unmarked, all the way around

06:19:32.740 --> 06:19:38.100
side of map, and open up the space for his team to follow through.

06:19:38.100 --> 06:19:44.980
was a criticism JD gaming they won that map but boy howdy did it come down to the wire

06:19:44.980 --> 06:19:51.220
and it was off a third hold not first and second because they got absolutely blitzed it was also

06:19:51.220 --> 06:19:58.660
up a parolix from players like pineapple receiving nanos from muck to be able to set up his own box

06:20:00.660 --> 06:20:04.340
do you hear that crowd already how many of them are behind JD gaming right now

06:20:04.340 --> 06:20:10.120
nice little jump up and I'm gonna shoot the alpha yeas quick switch

06:20:10.120 --> 06:20:15.040
straight over to the sim okay L class to go again see a poke on the diva look at

06:20:15.040 --> 06:20:19.820
this backline for GK as well the path from Finn looks like actually you're

06:20:19.820 --> 06:20:25.460
gonna change Juno for Kellex Finn switching to... change?

06:20:25.460 --> 06:20:27.380
okay it's changing his mind

06:20:27.380 --> 06:20:34.040
okay this is a poke on my yeah goodness I mean this backline could be more

06:20:34.040 --> 06:20:37.720
defensive play try. This is also like they fell as rare force the hazard to

06:20:37.720 --> 06:20:42.040
overextend chain him kill him out of line of sight both the Anna and the break

06:20:42.040 --> 06:20:46.360
that was right on engage yeah so like the DK you've already broken first

06:20:46.360 --> 06:20:54.560
corner without one fight. TP, under high ground, sit wave CDs, well I'm sure the

06:20:54.560 --> 06:20:58.240
gaming are gonna try and let jiggle this payload from the high ground. Monks in a

06:20:58.240 --> 06:21:02.280
good angle, grenades from it, but from it you've already lost B2 and there's the

06:21:02.280 --> 06:21:07.520
They'd hear LBE, sure, but Kaneki's gonna have a top-time security kill. He ends up getting Kalec, sure.

06:21:07.520 --> 06:21:11.920
And if that pineapple picks up a kill onto LAPT, they're pretty scrappy affair. All things considered.

06:21:12.180 --> 06:21:14.180
But he's Zed with 18 HP.

06:21:14.620 --> 06:21:18.400
Anches did not only rock bellows rare, but kill pineapple. First fight done. Pay low, dude.

06:21:18.400 --> 06:21:28.920
Yeah, Monk Mewtwo going down early as well means that JD gaming not close to having support of to set pineapple's living weapon online.

06:21:28.920 --> 06:21:33.760
UK esports will have amplification matrix when JD gaming tries to confess

06:21:33.760 --> 06:21:36.720
Braco has actually already been stouted off of damage done by Kellix

06:21:36.720 --> 06:21:39.920
They should be already instantly rocked, there's going to be a nail at his back

06:21:39.920 --> 06:21:43.920
so amplified healing somewhat from monk, generates that whole charge a little bit

06:21:43.920 --> 06:21:46.560
quicker as well so the nano boost might be available here unless they go down

06:21:46.560 --> 06:21:50.760
insta, with the window on high ground, lab's gonna make good use of this

06:21:50.760 --> 06:21:54.600
high dude, oh instantly killing fire, have you seen how quickly that charged up?

06:21:54.600 --> 06:21:58.200
That was gross, they're still gonna try for this one though, a little bit of extra

06:21:58.200 --> 06:22:03.800
The stall time never hurt anybody, Nanoboost in fact on two fellas later but he's still

06:22:03.800 --> 06:22:06.960
a three V5 on the point.

06:22:06.960 --> 06:22:13.000
He'll have hazardly used to try and get something done but no, Nanoboost broke the win.

06:22:13.000 --> 06:22:18.120
Yeah, that ant matrix as well with the dead eye just totally overrides Pineapple's living

06:22:18.120 --> 06:22:20.520
weapon.

06:22:20.520 --> 06:22:24.600
Monk having to just wait for the Nanoboost was not able to use it to supply for the emery

06:22:24.600 --> 06:22:26.600
to have that damage reduction.

06:22:26.600 --> 06:22:34.600
Now, DK just set up Labda perfectly in position with that Sixer Shield pocket to tax JD Gaming to walk from the high ground.

06:22:34.600 --> 06:22:40.600
Look at how fast Muti has to try to contest a break bash to make sure that he doesn't get left behind and die.

06:22:41.600 --> 06:22:43.600
It's got Rally in 10 though, does Muti?

06:22:43.600 --> 06:22:45.600
Boltz won for Kineki. Oh, good stick!

06:22:45.600 --> 06:22:53.600
Ah, Labda thinks good and look at that turnaround there from Labda, making sure he doesn't get popped after it.

06:22:53.600 --> 06:22:59.000
Bellis Ray is also going to fall down as a quick teleport is actually going to bisect the retreats.

06:22:59.000 --> 06:23:01.600
Pineapple Codes knows where the rest of them is.

06:23:01.600 --> 06:23:07.600
This is just not looking close. J.K. is watching out straws with Bellis Ray going over to Winston.

06:23:07.600 --> 06:23:11.600
Yeah, Pineapple back onto the soldier now.

06:23:11.600 --> 06:23:18.600
Bellis Ray is just trying to get G.K. to turn around to look at him, to look at him.

06:23:18.600 --> 06:23:22.600
To bone-eyed things like that immortality, but look at what G.K. have to work with.

06:23:22.600 --> 06:23:23.960
This is going to be on a high ground with the Widnit.

06:23:23.960 --> 06:23:24.960
Yeah, exactly.

06:23:24.960 --> 06:23:25.960
I'm just going to jump out.

06:23:25.960 --> 06:23:26.960
I'd love to.

06:23:26.960 --> 06:23:27.960
Look at this.

06:23:27.960 --> 06:23:28.960
And he's dead.

06:23:28.960 --> 06:23:29.960
It's all dead.

06:23:29.960 --> 06:23:30.960
It didn't even touch the ground.

06:23:30.960 --> 06:23:31.960
It's just not happening.

06:23:31.960 --> 06:23:33.960
It's off JDG right now.

06:23:33.960 --> 06:23:40.560
Well, the chances for winning this fight are about as alive as Belisrael was jumping towards

06:23:40.560 --> 06:23:41.560
that window.

06:23:41.560 --> 06:23:42.560
We go third.

06:23:42.560 --> 06:23:49.760
And Belisrael off of the Winston, onto the Rhine, lots of lives, at least, swaps now off

06:23:49.760 --> 06:23:54.400
off of the Ana onto the Baptists because you know, you have to have luck. You don't have

06:23:54.400 --> 06:23:59.160
a chance of building up those ultimate GKs with things like this, DeadEye.

06:23:59.160 --> 06:24:02.640
He's on his third hero. Yeah. We're playing Mystery Heroes.

06:24:02.640 --> 06:24:06.440
Bro, he's playing Rhyne. We're playing Mystery Heroes at this point, Jack.

06:24:06.440 --> 06:24:10.520
We need to fight Arches. Maybe Rhyne's here. How about a DeadEye, son?

06:24:10.520 --> 06:24:16.360
Tarkya, how've already gone? Shield? Oh, gone as well. Looks like Ziad's gonna box him

06:24:16.360 --> 06:24:21.220
him in a corner, wrap him up, a little takeaway dinner here for Gtec.

06:24:21.220 --> 06:24:25.500
Belisray is dead, there's the lap, Monk, you're on your own, we might just keep you there

06:24:25.500 --> 06:24:26.500
as well.

06:24:26.500 --> 06:24:30.100
Keeping that little house pet in the back, in fact both the ports have just been isolated

06:24:30.100 --> 06:24:31.100
away from the fight.

06:24:31.100 --> 06:24:32.600
Guys, you gotta get outta there!

06:24:32.600 --> 06:24:36.300
You might get even flanked by Labdre, no, they managed to leave, okay, thankfully.

06:24:36.300 --> 06:24:40.720
Belisray is going to join the fight once again, but we're on final push here, and see how

06:24:40.720 --> 06:24:44.540
Gtec decides, you know what, that's going to flux you in your spawn.

06:24:44.540 --> 06:24:47.040
Yeah, because now it's lost by territory.

06:24:47.040 --> 06:24:52.040
Kellex low, Ghost low, goes down to Finalfall, so 3 of an opportunity for JD Gaming.

06:24:52.040 --> 06:24:56.040
Okay, we don't want to grieve just yet, they've managed to hold on.

06:24:56.040 --> 06:24:58.040
If I have to take a hide, it's going to be good.

06:24:58.040 --> 06:25:02.040
Zag is deleted by amongst a window.

06:25:02.040 --> 06:25:05.040
And they're good. Alright, starting on point.

06:25:05.040 --> 06:25:09.040
Yeah, but that's huge forcing, window from JD Gaming.

06:25:09.040 --> 06:25:21.040
When GK can just push with a window of their own, Sanctuary soon to be built up the Calyx to be able to absorb pineapples over clock, which means like, GK, you don't have to go first fast.

06:25:21.040 --> 06:25:27.040
Here's the window. Big swing here from Finker to one tap somebody with the help of Labder.

06:25:27.040 --> 06:25:31.040
No, wait surely for Alfie's wall before they walk on Pineapple.

06:25:31.040 --> 06:25:33.040
They're going through the main.

06:25:33.040 --> 06:25:35.040
And then she just dropped.

06:25:35.040 --> 06:25:37.040
Look at the window. Easy peasy.

06:25:37.040 --> 06:25:39.040
Look at that. Another tree shield already gone.

06:25:39.040 --> 06:25:41.040
And now they're going to push on. And here's the wall.

06:25:41.040 --> 06:25:43.040
You've got to duck though.

06:25:43.040 --> 06:25:45.040
Another tree doesn't end up getting there just in time.

06:25:45.040 --> 06:25:47.040
It's V2 tries to taxi him onto the point.

06:25:47.040 --> 06:25:49.040
Kind of just going to try and go for a big fight past the window.

06:25:49.040 --> 06:25:51.040
And the wall evens. That's just ended up falling down.

06:25:51.040 --> 06:25:53.040
But look at that sanctuary.

06:25:53.040 --> 06:25:55.040
A delectable push from GK.

06:25:55.040 --> 06:25:57.040
What are they doing?

06:25:57.040 --> 06:25:59.040
You seeing this? Finn, you see what I just did?

06:25:59.040 --> 06:26:04.840
I just did yeah boom exploded everybody dead easy easy he's already crushing the

06:26:04.840 --> 06:26:12.480
key that's what he's doing he's just manifesting that key crush at this point

06:26:12.480 --> 06:26:19.560
man that was a brutal retake walk like what do you do if you're JD gaming and

06:26:19.560 --> 06:26:22.140
and you have one overlock to work on.

06:26:22.140 --> 06:26:23.640
Oh, it was shot.

06:26:23.640 --> 06:26:24.640
Oh.

06:26:24.640 --> 06:26:25.640
Oh.

06:26:25.640 --> 06:26:26.640
And he's dead.

06:26:26.640 --> 06:26:27.640
That's, that's brutal.

06:26:27.640 --> 06:26:31.640
There's a reason we don't see a whole lot of Winston.

06:26:31.640 --> 06:26:33.900
There's current meta, but yeah, like, holding

06:26:33.900 --> 06:26:39.200
Tineapple's overclock hostage, just walking to points with some wall,

06:26:39.200 --> 06:26:40.200
and then having that opportunity.

06:26:40.200 --> 06:26:41.200
Shit, right, it's a payload.

06:26:41.200 --> 06:26:42.200
It, it, like, goes over.

06:26:42.200 --> 06:26:43.200
They've removed.

06:26:43.200 --> 06:26:44.200
Oh, my God.

06:26:44.200 --> 06:26:45.200
Oh, my God.

06:26:45.200 --> 06:26:46.400
Oh my god!

06:26:49.840 --> 06:26:51.280
Oh we get a slow-mo perfect!

06:26:51.280 --> 06:26:52.720
He tried over the payload!

06:26:54.000 --> 06:26:55.600
He didn't have any chocolate to himself too.

06:26:56.640 --> 06:27:00.800
The Mizuki too as well, like, sanctuary versus overclock.

06:27:00.800 --> 06:27:09.680
Oh, that's not a fun match-up as I don't think JD Gaming are having much fun at the moment.

06:27:09.680 --> 06:27:13.280
Obviously he hasn't died, by the way. 22 and 0.

06:27:13.280 --> 06:27:17.560
I'm young now for you.

06:27:17.560 --> 06:27:23.320
They have to just be able to shrug it off, though, is the thing for JD gaming.

06:27:23.320 --> 06:27:27.840
You can't just fall into despair.

06:27:27.840 --> 06:27:28.840
You can still work.

06:27:28.840 --> 06:27:29.840
You can still attack.

06:27:29.840 --> 06:27:33.400
You can still try to go fast with this grind with the scent.

06:27:33.400 --> 06:27:39.400
An Overwatch player's favorite pastime, falling into despair.

06:27:39.400 --> 06:27:44.120
of the players who I see playing Overwatch in my games, their pastime has fallen off of the map.

06:27:45.240 --> 06:27:47.800
Oh, we're gonna bring up that again. We've got a few clips of that already.

06:27:47.800 --> 06:27:50.360
Nice little teleport there, Kinect, you're trying to fake that one out,

06:27:50.360 --> 06:27:53.240
charging into the wall as the adjunct is decided. You know what, actually,

06:27:53.240 --> 06:27:57.880
up along for the high ground. Look at that. The wall behind him, plus the pink pro,

06:27:57.880 --> 06:28:02.200
just says, absolutely not. Just jumps off Bellis Reyes' head and gets up onto height.

06:28:02.200 --> 06:28:06.520
Another wall, but a quick teleport from Alphie, repositioned for the team, perfectly on top of

06:28:06.520 --> 06:28:16.520
I'll be used to trying to play that off angle. GK at the moment, more than happy to set up on the high ground looks for the drop, flip the map and stop the objective from moving.

06:28:16.520 --> 06:28:25.520
Gonna kill Laptop too. Taking a large chunk out of Kameki. Oh no, he's in trouble now. Nice teleport from JD Gaming. He's gonna eliminate the Cassidy.

06:28:25.520 --> 06:28:32.520
Huge, just understanding that Laptop was so far split from the rest of the team that Sallis Rare goes so low that Laptop's actually close.

06:28:32.520 --> 06:28:34.520
People, are you kidding me?

06:28:35.720 --> 06:28:38.320
Okay, really thinking that this fight needs to be quick.

06:28:38.620 --> 06:28:39.320
Alright, well,

06:28:39.920 --> 06:28:42.820
hopefully with that, they should be able to just cap the point.

06:28:42.820 --> 06:28:44.720
A quick teleport away from Alfa Yi.

06:28:44.720 --> 06:28:45.920
Make sure he gets out alive.

06:28:45.920 --> 06:28:47.320
Him and Kellogg's gonna link up.

06:28:47.620 --> 06:28:50.220
I think you're worried because Lampers Force from Bellas Royale,

06:28:50.220 --> 06:28:51.620
Mewtwo did not have sign bars,

06:28:51.620 --> 06:28:53.420
yet could have gone for the fluxes.

06:28:53.620 --> 06:28:56.920
DK, not looking like they'll go for the recon test.

06:28:57.220 --> 06:28:59.120
JD Gaming pushed for a second,

06:28:59.120 --> 06:29:01.920
but here's why DK did not fight back.

06:29:01.920 --> 06:29:08.360
They're established to high ground hold and JD gaming have to dig deep to be able to bring it

06:29:10.480 --> 06:29:13.040
I'll say Ryan mass there in the audience of course

06:29:14.000 --> 06:29:16.840
Mines who've kept her back when he joined large for those who know

06:29:17.640 --> 06:29:21.200
Four minutes and a bit for JD games on a lot of volts

06:29:21.200 --> 06:29:24.440
They just got to get themselves in the good position again with this teleport

06:29:24.440 --> 06:29:27.320
But now there's so many angles that GK are holding from

06:29:27.320 --> 06:29:29.320
Teleport onto the high ground this time.

06:29:29.320 --> 06:29:31.320
Yep, they're just going to ignore this window.

06:29:31.320 --> 06:29:33.320
Just back off, just wait, wait for it to disappear.

06:29:33.320 --> 06:29:36.320
Yep, great teleport from JD Gaming.

06:29:36.320 --> 06:29:38.320
Avoids the window, wait for it to drop.

06:29:38.320 --> 06:29:40.320
Then try to run at GK.

06:29:40.320 --> 06:29:43.320
Teleport back onto point so you can keep the objective.

06:29:43.320 --> 06:29:45.320
Move it and force them to drop off high.

06:29:45.320 --> 06:29:46.320
That is in trouble.

06:29:46.320 --> 06:29:47.320
I set a roundup from downtown,

06:29:47.320 --> 06:29:49.320
and they're just going to assist in that kill onto Monk.

06:29:49.320 --> 06:29:51.320
They're going to use this wall to push forward.

06:29:51.320 --> 06:29:52.320
Even with this kill onto Monk,

06:29:52.320 --> 06:29:55.320
it's still going to be tough for GK to win this fight decisively.

06:29:55.320 --> 06:30:00.920
Although, say it, that lags on the high ground already. Can any of you round down to the dole, to the dole, or not?

06:30:00.920 --> 06:30:05.120
Now, yeah, a quick descend from the rest of GK to eliminate JDG.

06:30:05.120 --> 06:30:10.720
Yeah, similar, just not quite able to save month and GK.

06:30:10.720 --> 06:30:18.920
Swift, the knife, was a full five win, which means that once more JDG may have to walk into that high ground setup.

06:30:18.920 --> 06:30:24.040
Tell it to the Sanctuary, she'll be able to absorb the damage when Month's Window opens up.

06:30:24.040 --> 06:30:28.440
Lab'd up with this overclock, it's the thing that you have to worry about if you're JD Gaming

06:30:28.440 --> 06:30:30.920
because you can't just play half hit versus the Sanctuary.

06:30:31.400 --> 06:30:35.560
Half and half there, half teleport, high ground, half stay on the payload, now they're moving up.

06:30:35.560 --> 06:30:39.560
Sanctuary, like you mentioned, is going to be tough to fellow Shraia to get value with the Shatter too,

06:30:39.560 --> 06:30:41.560
despite that Sanctuary being available.

06:30:42.760 --> 06:30:43.560
Tellable?

06:30:43.560 --> 06:30:44.040
Yep.

06:30:44.040 --> 06:30:48.280
Straight off the gas station, the Sanctuary gets blocked there, instantly the Kelly's Furniture coming down.

06:30:48.280 --> 06:30:50.520
Oh, and Ziad actually eats the Blizzard!

06:30:51.080 --> 06:30:57.480
What a beautiful little player there from Ziad, but it might just be all over anyway on the map, as she says, actually, not today!

06:30:57.800 --> 06:31:03.200
A jumping high ground, a little shot onto Pineapple, send them May, fax to Sport,

06:31:03.680 --> 06:31:06.680
and now Sunnyfellas Red is trying to contend with the rest.

06:31:07.080 --> 06:31:10.880
So, a bit of minutes to go now, this tie-back slowly dwindling.

06:31:10.880 --> 06:31:18.080
He's so clean with the Soldier. Sees the teleport, uses the powerslide, dodges any chance for that Shatter to hit him,

06:31:18.280 --> 06:31:22.280
Put some stuff up the high ground, I'll be useful for more to keep left the safe.

06:31:22.280 --> 06:31:27.320
And the overclock takes JDGaming out. Fast push though to teleport to high ground and window.

06:31:27.320 --> 06:31:31.720
Fire strike? No, not why. They're not going to give him the chance to get that one tap.

06:31:31.720 --> 06:31:36.440
Point guys, someone from JDGaming has separated from the pack, dropped down.

06:31:36.440 --> 06:31:38.840
But that means that Mewtwo's not there to push the team forward.

06:31:39.960 --> 06:31:42.760
All good though, you don't really need the movement speed right now and you can get

06:31:42.760 --> 06:31:45.880
out of dodge real quick with the teleport straight up the height.

06:31:45.880 --> 06:31:52.780
Ziad's going to have the blocks, the Shatter is blocked by the shield of Ziad and they still got ult to spare as well.

06:31:52.780 --> 06:31:58.580
Alphie's going to clean up. The ultimate economy game from GK is sublime.

06:31:58.580 --> 06:32:08.980
It feels like Finn was using the amplification to bait the Shatter as well, with how ready Ziad is on the signature shield to be able to stop it.

06:32:08.980 --> 06:32:18.560
And JD Gaming, Pineapple, is now onto the Bastion, just to try to have any form of first damage on that symmetric teleporter movement.

06:32:20.400 --> 06:32:24.480
Alright, Benefi, with the TP, there's the team across the chasm.

06:32:25.680 --> 06:32:30.480
See how kind of playing with this food right now just went into a pair. This is our king, anything so he knows something's up.

06:32:30.480 --> 06:32:34.980
The box on the right is gonna be big, he had the pink three. Nice wall in response.

06:32:34.980 --> 06:32:41.580
The team are gonna be immune to pretty much everything right now, but look at this damage actually being thrown in, that wall is gonna get deleted in just a moment.

06:32:41.580 --> 06:32:46.480
Alphys gonna deploy a wall of his own and now this monk window from the high ground might be what they need to win this fight.

06:32:46.480 --> 06:32:52.280
Shooting at the wall means it's gonna get deleted, that health is gonna get shut down pretty readily, especially with this faction now.

06:32:53.980 --> 06:32:59.980
Yeah, just sitting behind the amplification matrix, but Alphys down and yeah, caught, just starting.

06:32:59.980 --> 06:33:06.480
Soundbar from U2, and depending on the rarequake teleport or reposition from Labda, Helix goes dangerously low as they've ended up supporting the map again.

06:33:06.980 --> 06:33:09.980
Like, what, what are we here? It's like the map has a table.

06:33:11.980 --> 06:33:14.980
Ooh, the ad trying to stand up.

06:33:14.980 --> 06:33:15.980
Oh, connected.

06:33:16.980 --> 06:33:20.480
30 seconds to go as well, Moxie. They need to hit a reset here.

06:33:20.980 --> 06:33:24.480
I don't think there's lots of those. GK just keep applying pressure.

06:33:24.480 --> 06:33:26.980
Yeah, U2's just going to go down as well. We're still with the rest of the team.

06:33:26.980 --> 06:33:31.220
But the Shree tries to get an emergency pain, emergency kill, anything to stay alive!

06:33:32.480 --> 06:33:35.360
This feels like my mug has to use a motocross to go just to live!

06:33:35.360 --> 06:33:36.020
It's over!

06:33:36.520 --> 06:33:38.920
They're just gonna leap up, you can push the payload, don't matter!

06:33:38.920 --> 06:33:40.440
It really just does not matter!

06:33:40.820 --> 06:33:42.480
You've not got a chance to get back in!

06:33:43.400 --> 06:33:44.240
This is done!

06:33:44.720 --> 06:33:51.620
GK, locking down Route 66 might as well have the key already on the crosser.

06:33:52.120 --> 06:33:55.920
Now the Shree's gonna get into the touch here, a little finer one, overtime does end up getting triggered,

06:33:55.920 --> 06:33:59.920
They've got a beat, they've got a flux coming up, they've got a window, they've got everything they need.

06:33:59.920 --> 06:34:04.920
Monk has to be the saviour, but they're just too distracted with their own small little tasks.

06:34:04.920 --> 06:34:09.920
A nice two-player flux. Mewtwo pineapple put in the dirt.

06:34:09.920 --> 06:34:19.920
JD Gaming are gonna go down. GKE supports. They secure that final spot in the playoffs.

06:34:19.920 --> 06:34:29.920
And they looked so relaxed doing it as well.

06:34:29.920 --> 06:34:38.220
Perfectly playing around the symmetric timings on the defense and just applying so much constant

06:34:38.220 --> 06:34:44.820
pressure, so much damage on the attack to not allow JD gaming the opportunity to hold

06:34:44.820 --> 06:34:45.820
their ground.

06:34:45.820 --> 06:34:48.820
Fightin' fights, balls ultimate, stall like time.

06:34:51.820 --> 06:34:53.820
GK looked good right now.

06:34:53.820 --> 06:35:01.820
That three-maps versus Zate Division should have been the telltale sign of how this series was going to go.

06:35:01.820 --> 06:35:06.820
Another Chinese representative is gonna get eliminated, leaving Wavebo.

06:35:06.820 --> 06:35:09.820
The last hope here for the region.

06:35:09.820 --> 06:35:12.820
Big smiles on the face all around for GK.

06:35:12.820 --> 06:35:20.820
they're going to join space station gaming, the Zate Division and Crazy Raku who qualify out of Group B.

06:35:20.820 --> 06:35:30.820
Twisted Minds to continue the EMEA representation. So GK will have to defend their title.

06:35:30.820 --> 06:35:36.820
They've been able to be out twist minds before, but now they have to do it on the international land setter.

06:35:36.820 --> 06:35:42.820
Let's get a quick word from the Danish superstar, the legend, Kellex, down on the stage.

06:35:43.820 --> 06:35:48.820
Yes, I am standing by with the Danish superstar. Congratulations Kellex for that big win.

06:35:48.820 --> 06:35:51.820
I imagine you must be very happy in France.

06:35:51.820 --> 06:35:56.820
So you know the French fans because you've been part of the team peps back in the days in 50.

06:35:56.820 --> 06:36:00.820
Give me something for you so maybe you can show it to the camera and then flip it.

06:36:00.820 --> 06:36:03.820
He told me to give it to you. Maybe you can show it here.

06:36:03.820 --> 06:36:05.820
Thank you.

06:36:05.820 --> 06:36:07.820
Thank you.

06:36:07.820 --> 06:36:11.820
Give him a little note. All jokes aside, it's a pleasure to have you here.

06:36:11.820 --> 06:36:15.820
Of course, you've been able to witness the fashion of French fans, you know,

06:36:15.820 --> 06:36:18.820
being there on a big arena. How much does it mean to you to be back here?

06:36:18.820 --> 06:36:23.820
Amazing. I was here three years ago for a lot of tournaments and I met a lot of hip fans

06:36:23.820 --> 06:36:28.820
and it was amazing. You know, the French fans are crazy in this eSport and other eSports as well.

06:36:28.820 --> 06:36:30.820
So yeah, it's great.

06:36:30.820 --> 06:36:32.140
And it's great to have you, of course.

06:36:32.140 --> 06:36:33.220
The first question.

06:36:33.220 --> 06:36:35.740
You know the passion of French fans, of course,

06:36:35.740 --> 06:36:39.260
because you're part of the old Pepe team.

06:36:39.260 --> 06:36:43.380
He says it because all the watch partners, teams, bundles

06:36:43.380 --> 06:36:44.900
have been announced on social media.

06:36:44.900 --> 06:36:47.420
So you're going to be able to get your favorite teams,

06:36:47.420 --> 06:36:51.100
bundles, because indeed, French fans are incredible.

06:36:51.100 --> 06:36:53.220
We hear them make noise.

06:36:53.220 --> 06:36:54.940
You know, I wanted also to ask you,

06:36:54.940 --> 06:36:57.180
because we've seen Geekay struggle a bit

06:36:57.180 --> 06:36:59.860
at the beginning of the season, at the beginning of the year.

06:36:59.860 --> 06:37:03.140
Yet, when you joined, it's a whole different story.

06:37:03.140 --> 06:37:05.940
So what do you think you're bringing to this team?

06:37:05.940 --> 06:37:07.860
And you keep bringing to this team?

06:37:07.860 --> 06:37:09.300
I think I'm a good comedian.

06:37:09.300 --> 06:37:10.820
I've been doing good jokes, good vibes,

06:37:10.820 --> 06:37:12.420
and average gameplay.

06:37:12.420 --> 06:37:16.020
I think my strength is just making my teammates happy.

06:37:16.020 --> 06:37:18.340
And yeah, as you can see, we're doing well so far.

06:37:18.340 --> 06:37:19.980
So hopefully, I can keep it up.

06:37:19.980 --> 06:37:22.340
I mean, average gameplay, when you made it to playoffs,

06:37:22.340 --> 06:37:23.380
I think it's very humble.

06:37:23.380 --> 06:37:25.020
But yes, indeed.

06:37:25.020 --> 06:37:28.720
So the second question, Gike, you've been a part of the Galère Aventure since you joined Tela.

06:37:28.720 --> 06:37:31.920
It's a completely different story. What do you think you bring to the team?

06:37:31.920 --> 06:37:37.920
Well, really, the good vibes, the vans, I try to put my teammates at their prime all the time

06:37:37.920 --> 06:37:40.920
and in a pretty average gameplay, even if I don't necessarily agree with that.

06:37:55.020 --> 06:38:06.300
key from JDG. Go for it, it's your moment. As our lovely keymaster walks him through,

06:38:06.300 --> 06:38:20.300
it is indeed a victory for GKE Sports taking down JD Gaming here in Paris. GKE, our playoffs.

06:38:20.300 --> 06:38:27.300
That, that sounded great.

06:38:27.300 --> 06:38:30.300
Yeah, wow. What are you feeling?

06:38:30.300 --> 06:38:37.300
What are you feeling? I'm going to welcome you back onto the stage with one last very, very important question.

06:38:37.300 --> 06:38:44.300
Because last year you've played several finals, but it was never the time for you to get the trophy.

06:38:44.300 --> 06:38:48.300
So can you tell me why this year is going to be the one for you?

06:38:48.300 --> 06:38:56.300
Last year, I was with two of my teamers over here in Lepton, and I think we've learned from our mistakes, so I'm very hopeful that we can finally bring it home.

06:38:56.300 --> 06:38:58.300
Hope and confidence?

06:38:58.300 --> 06:39:07.300
Yeah, I think I'm pretty confident. Now we're going to play best of fives, so we can finally play our full comp all the time, almost, so yeah, I'm happy.

06:39:07.300 --> 06:39:11.300
I think a lot of us are excited also to see you guys in best of fives.

06:39:11.300 --> 06:39:15.740
It's true that last year you played a lot of finals, it's never been the opportunity to take the trophy.

06:39:15.740 --> 06:39:17.460
Why this year? It's going to be your year.

06:39:17.460 --> 06:39:20.820
Well, I was already with two of my teammates last year when we played finals.

06:39:20.820 --> 06:39:25.060
I think we learned from our mistakes and in real life, a bit of hope, a bit of confidence.

06:39:25.060 --> 06:39:26.500
And I think it can be done.

06:39:26.500 --> 06:39:31.180
Thank you so much for joining me and we're going to be standing by for the drone show.

06:39:31.180 --> 06:39:34.700
So make sure not to go too far because we're going to be back after a short break.

06:39:34.700 --> 06:39:35.540
See you there.

06:39:35.540 --> 06:39:36.540
Thank you very much.

06:39:36.540 --> 06:39:37.540
Thank you!

06:39:41.300 --> 06:39:48.660
That may be the smartest man in Paris right now.

06:39:48.660 --> 06:39:53.140
There are so many great French organizations, pets, vitality, gentlemen, it's carming

06:39:53.140 --> 06:39:58.020
core and now I feel like GK may have one of us a French fans.

06:39:58.020 --> 06:40:02.220
After that interview, Kellex, a performer, says he's just got to lay down the jokes.

06:40:02.220 --> 06:40:04.220
I'll think you and crew will take care of the rest.

06:40:04.220 --> 06:40:07.340
Honestly, Kellex has been so expressive this event.

06:40:07.340 --> 06:40:09.980
He was playing with the camera, was chokin' around,

06:40:09.980 --> 06:40:14.140
was giving some heat to his teammates as well during their last series,

06:40:14.140 --> 06:40:18.300
where I'm earning some of them just hard to have a bathroom break that went on forever.

06:40:18.300 --> 06:40:24.220
So yeah, I love the leadership that Kalex brought in and outside of the server, really.

06:40:24.220 --> 06:40:26.060
Yeah, I mean, this guy is a veteran of the sport.

06:40:26.060 --> 06:40:28.140
We had a discussion behind the doors, just like,

06:40:28.140 --> 06:40:32.140
has he played the most official matches out of anyone in Overwatch sports?

06:40:32.140 --> 06:40:34.220
I think we settled, maybe, on the violet,

06:40:34.220 --> 06:40:36.460
but Kalex stopped there because of the Overwatch phase.

06:40:36.460 --> 06:40:41.260
Robert Kraft had this guy on his team for the Boston Uprising.

06:40:41.260 --> 06:40:45.980
Now he, of course, is playing for GK, wearing a different shade of blue.

06:40:45.980 --> 06:40:50.380
Reinforced when you look at GK's victory tonight, how surprising is it

06:40:50.380 --> 06:40:52.380
that they made it through the groups?

06:40:52.380 --> 06:40:54.780
I don't think it's too surprising, but this was a really good win.

06:40:54.780 --> 06:40:58.140
I loved the adjustments they made, and they stayed composed, even though they

06:40:58.140 --> 06:41:01.260
took a really difficult loss earlier today against the division.

06:41:01.260 --> 06:41:04.060
Love that was just firing and all students are here on the soldier.

06:41:04.060 --> 06:41:10.780
And the adaptation they made on Roost 66 when they went back to spawn took 15 seconds to decide what composition they were going to play.

06:41:10.780 --> 06:41:13.980
And it just completely threw a wrench in what the gaming had planned.

06:41:13.980 --> 06:41:16.980
They did not plan for Bellas Ria to play Reinhardt.

06:41:16.980 --> 06:41:19.820
They did not plan to play Symmetra when they picked Roost 66.

06:41:19.820 --> 06:41:22.580
And so GK really put them in the back for a very impressive win.

06:41:23.180 --> 06:41:25.980
So as we take a look at the highlights, what did you enjoy?

06:41:26.460 --> 06:41:29.060
Honestly, everything. I like the composition they're playing.

06:41:29.060 --> 06:41:31.700
I think it's pretty much everything is in their comfort zone.

06:41:31.700 --> 06:41:36.380
I don't think they have to change too much drastically from what we've seen from them in stage two,

06:41:36.380 --> 06:41:39.440
since the men already seem to work well for them already there.

06:41:39.440 --> 06:41:45.560
So it's one of those teams which we're just able to continue to do what they wanted to do anyway.

06:41:46.160 --> 06:41:48.960
We welcome in Danny Lim to the studio.

06:41:48.960 --> 06:41:53.240
Danny, you've been running around getting everyone's predictions on the week.

06:41:53.240 --> 06:41:55.860
Did you get your prediction right in this one?

06:41:55.860 --> 06:42:01.540
This one I did. I'm gonna be honest, I had to do predictions twice.

06:42:01.540 --> 06:42:07.920
I think the first one I said I said I said GK was gonna win and then the second one I said I kind of doubled it

06:42:07.920 --> 06:42:14.280
I I predicted that they're gonna lose but but in my heart. I knew that GK was gonna win. Hey shout out to GK

06:42:14.280 --> 06:42:17.540
Thank you for getting my prediction right I guess go with your gut

06:42:17.540 --> 06:42:20.900
You know that was smart the first answer was the right answer

06:42:21.300 --> 06:42:28.020
GK are powering through there one of eight teams that'll be playing for the lion's share of our million-dollar prize pool

06:42:28.020 --> 06:42:32.620
So this is the mid-season championship. So what are we where are we at the big picture?

06:42:32.620 --> 06:42:34.860
What are we looking forward to here in the final two days?

06:42:34.860 --> 06:42:38.740
Well, it's within a name. We're exactly in the middle of our season

06:42:38.740 --> 06:42:40.620
We still have the world finals to come of course

06:42:40.620 --> 06:42:46.980
But even after this event there is going to be the Overwatch World Cup that is happening which is finally returned

06:42:46.980 --> 06:42:48.620
Our first stop is going to be in Korea

06:42:48.620 --> 06:42:55.620
So so many of these players that are playing here will be traveling to Korea literally a few days after this event

06:42:55.620 --> 06:42:58.460
And so they got some very staff schedules.

06:42:58.460 --> 06:43:00.580
They're going to be so busy and so are we,

06:43:00.580 --> 06:43:02.540
because Johnny, in about 13 minutes,

06:43:02.540 --> 06:43:05.180
we will be drawing names on stage,

06:43:05.180 --> 06:43:07.180
and our players will be selecting their opponents.

06:43:07.180 --> 06:43:09.460
So walk me through the process,

06:43:09.460 --> 06:43:11.580
and how big of an advantage is it

06:43:11.580 --> 06:43:13.540
to come out with a early seed?

06:43:13.540 --> 06:43:15.820
Yo, I mean, this is huge getting the number one seed,

06:43:15.820 --> 06:43:18.180
because I do think that the best number one seeds

06:43:18.180 --> 06:43:19.700
outweigh the number two seeds.

06:43:19.700 --> 06:43:21.380
And I mean, that's effectively the difference.

06:43:21.380 --> 06:43:22.980
If you win your quarterfinal's matchup,

06:43:22.980 --> 06:43:24.900
that's a difference of like $60,000,

06:43:24.900 --> 06:43:26.420
and who doesn't want $60,000?

06:43:26.420 --> 06:43:27.980
And so if you're the number one seed,

06:43:27.980 --> 06:43:30.940
you have a great upper hand going into the playoffs here.

06:43:30.940 --> 06:43:33.380
And so we're gonna see these teams draw it on a bucket

06:43:33.380 --> 06:43:35.340
or I don't know what kind of objects we prepare

06:43:35.340 --> 06:43:36.180
to draw these things out.

06:43:36.180 --> 06:43:37.020
Some hides, some hide, some hide.

06:43:37.020 --> 06:43:38.940
And place them on a bracket and see where they end up.

06:43:38.940 --> 06:43:41.460
Let's take a look here at our bracket so far

06:43:41.460 --> 06:43:42.620
as groups have ended.

06:43:42.620 --> 06:43:45.540
We've sent half of the competition packing.

06:43:45.540 --> 06:43:48.260
Danny, walk me through the early rounds.

06:43:48.260 --> 06:43:50.580
What did we see on days one and two?

06:43:50.580 --> 06:43:54.180
I think I could say this in a very concise way.

06:43:54.900 --> 06:43:59.940
uh better teams won

06:44:00.580 --> 06:44:04.740
am i am i wrong i'm wrong i mean most of the predictions i i feel like it was

06:44:04.740 --> 06:44:11.940
kind of easy to get i think uh for me uh i really remember i think the first day was t1 versus

06:44:11.940 --> 06:44:16.100
twisted mic that one was very interesting because i'm a big twisted mindspan right so

06:44:16.100 --> 06:44:20.100
them getting the win was i was like yes let's why are you a twisted mindspan is that because the

06:44:20.100 --> 06:44:27.100
Quartz bring the energy? Quartz. Quartz. I honestly think Quartz is the best headscan that we have in Odo VCS.

06:44:27.100 --> 06:44:33.100
Wow, do you like Lionel Messi too or? How'd you know? Wow, wow. He likes him. That's crazy.

06:44:33.100 --> 06:44:39.100
I think the match that surprised me, the only match that really surprised me was that Vable victory.

06:44:39.100 --> 06:44:44.100
That's what I really didn't have anywhere on my pick-ins.

06:44:44.100 --> 06:44:47.100
Yeah, Vable has always been the strongest team coming out of China, right?

06:44:47.100 --> 06:44:49.340
We've always known the potential of the players.

06:44:49.340 --> 06:44:51.580
Several of them have been in the Overwatch League at the past,

06:44:51.580 --> 06:44:56.140
OWCS in the past, but to come out and beat the Falcons the way they did,

06:44:56.140 --> 06:44:57.580
I think that was a shocker.

06:44:57.580 --> 06:45:00.380
And for the Falcons to get eliminated here today,

06:45:00.380 --> 06:45:02.460
that may be the biggest story

06:45:02.460 --> 06:45:05.420
if you've been following the club championship since week zero.

06:45:05.420 --> 06:45:07.660
For now though, we got to celebrate Twisted Minds

06:45:07.660 --> 06:45:12.060
because they are guaranteed points at least 200 with the top eight finish.

06:45:12.060 --> 06:45:15.340
And remember last year, this is a team that finished in our top four.

06:45:15.340 --> 06:45:21.180
So what can get done for a team rockin light blue and pink silly expectations for Ubi's crew?

06:45:21.740 --> 06:45:26.460
Honestly the expectations are very very high. Yes, they were looking shaky earlier this year

06:45:26.540 --> 06:45:28.540
But I think they put their egos aside

06:45:28.540 --> 06:45:34.620
They're now buying into the meta the things that they strayed away from which is clearly if you're not playing cat fashion

06:45:34.620 --> 06:45:38.460
and you may be struggling a little bit if you don't have like a really like

06:45:39.180 --> 06:45:44.940
big other identity looking at like a Dallas fuel or something like that but for them to pick it up for this event and

06:45:45.340 --> 06:45:48.220
Playing it so seamlessly is, I think, a very good sign.

06:45:48.220 --> 06:45:51.900
Yeah, I think what is so interesting about Twisted Minds is, for the past couple of events,

06:45:51.900 --> 06:45:53.980
they've gone through the lower bracket, okay?

06:45:53.980 --> 06:45:57.260
They've taken a loss in the tournament, and they've had to run it back.

06:45:57.260 --> 06:46:01.900
On the bench, they have J.Woo, who is mechanically one of the best players in the tournament.

06:46:01.900 --> 06:46:04.380
But instead, they've just sat from the get-go this time around.

06:46:04.380 --> 06:46:07.180
We're just gonna put Yubi in the mix, we're gonna play the Symmetra,

06:46:07.180 --> 06:46:10.380
and knowing now in the playoffs that there is no double elimination,

06:46:10.380 --> 06:46:12.860
it's single elimination, one loss and you're out.

06:46:12.860 --> 06:46:15.900
They've already early in the tournament, committed to the Symmetra approach.

06:46:15.900 --> 06:46:19.100
And when they play this, they consistently reach the Grand Finals.

06:46:19.100 --> 06:46:21.260
Major shout out to our production team.

06:46:21.260 --> 06:46:25.820
Not only are they preparing highlights for all of the teams playing in the final two days of action,

06:46:25.820 --> 06:46:30.220
they've also prepared an interview, Dani-Lem, and it's with one of our favorite human beings.

06:46:30.220 --> 06:46:34.380
He goes by the name of Poco, and I know that you know him very well.

06:46:34.380 --> 06:46:37.420
What are you excited to talk about with the Frenchman?

06:46:38.700 --> 06:46:42.700
I want to hear what Poco, who Poco thinks is going to win it all.

06:46:42.700 --> 06:46:48.860
You know, what he thinks is going to be the champions for EWC Poco, right?

06:46:48.860 --> 06:46:49.660
Hi Poco!

06:46:49.660 --> 06:46:50.620
Hi, Danny!

06:46:50.620 --> 06:46:54.540
Alright, tell me, tell me, who do you think is going to win it all for EWC?

06:46:55.180 --> 06:46:57.100
It's a tough question, tough, tough, tough.

06:46:57.100 --> 06:47:01.500
I'm going to give you like two answers and two only.

06:47:02.060 --> 06:47:05.020
I think Twisted Minds are like so good on LAN.

06:47:05.020 --> 06:47:06.380
They are like the best at it.

06:47:06.380 --> 06:47:07.980
UB is like mastermind level.

06:47:08.780 --> 06:47:12.540
And maybe T1, maybe T1 is going to do it.

06:47:12.540 --> 06:47:13.540
Yeah, I believe.

06:47:14.540 --> 06:47:16.540
That seems like such an unbiased opinion.

06:47:16.540 --> 06:47:17.540
Unbiased.

06:47:17.540 --> 06:47:18.540
That's crazy.

06:47:18.540 --> 06:47:21.540
Pogo, can you tell us a little bit about T1's performance

06:47:21.540 --> 06:47:23.540
because they powered through the group stages.

06:47:23.540 --> 06:47:25.540
You called this for us on day number two.

06:47:25.540 --> 06:47:28.540
What did you see from your team and who are you proud of?

06:47:28.540 --> 06:47:30.540
Yeah, I'm very proud of Dongak.

06:47:30.540 --> 06:47:31.540
I mean, he's like so good.

06:47:31.540 --> 06:47:32.540
I'm like a thank main.

06:47:32.540 --> 06:47:36.540
So I'm like, how can he be so good on Moga?

06:47:36.540 --> 06:47:38.540
I think he's like the best Moga in the world for me.

06:47:38.540 --> 06:47:41.540
He's like climbing and doing everything.

06:47:41.540 --> 06:47:47.340
And then the team probably is so good, the back lane is too good, but yeah, 2-0 against Alcon,

06:47:47.340 --> 06:47:51.240
they're served and I hope they're gonna have a good opponent and they're gonna go further.

06:47:51.240 --> 06:47:53.840
Who do you want to see them beat? Who do you want to see them play?

06:47:53.840 --> 06:47:58.540
Because now we're doing a draw here on stage and they could face a lot of different opponents here.

06:47:58.540 --> 06:48:01.340
What kind of team do you think will be a good matchup for T1?

06:48:01.340 --> 06:48:07.740
I think maybe Weebo. Weebo is gonna be probably the easiest matchup for Sankjaer.

06:48:07.740 --> 06:48:10.740
Um, yeah.

06:48:10.740 --> 06:48:12.740
Okay, who will be the hardest matchup then?

06:48:12.740 --> 06:48:16.740
Like, who do you not want to face up against if you're T1?

06:48:16.740 --> 06:48:19.740
Maybe Zedah. I feel like Zedah is still good.

06:48:19.740 --> 06:48:27.740
They play like all the time against T1 and they have like the upper advantage, but yeah, Zedah, a bit difficult as in.

06:48:27.740 --> 06:48:31.740
I got some bad news. It's live from our producer. Are you ready for it?

06:48:31.740 --> 06:48:37.740
You got a 50-50 shot. You can either play Crazy Raccoon or Zenogenation.

06:48:37.740 --> 06:48:44.740
That's not good at all guys. Can we change it? Can we do something about it?

06:48:44.740 --> 06:48:48.740
We're in Paris. I'm sure you know some people behind the scenes that speak French.

06:48:48.740 --> 06:48:55.740
Poco, let's talk a little bit about tags. You are one of my favorites to watch since the beginning of the Overwatch competitions.

06:48:55.740 --> 06:48:58.740
Who has been most impressive? We have eight teams moving forward,

06:48:58.740 --> 06:49:03.180
forward but you can pick from any of the 16 that graced our stage here at EWC.

06:49:03.180 --> 06:49:09.620
I think I should be T-V-T. I mean, I really like his Diva. He's like so good at it and

06:49:09.620 --> 06:49:13.820
now he can play Rain, he can play Sigma, he can play like so many tanks and he's so good

06:49:13.820 --> 06:49:17.420
with like a Twisted Mind. I'm very impressed by this player.

06:49:17.420 --> 06:49:21.260
Do you think you could make a return Poco? Like when you watch these guys play or you're

06:49:21.260 --> 06:49:24.940
like oh I'm just I'm gonna jump in scrims after the tournament like I'm ready to go

06:49:24.940 --> 06:49:26.940
I'm fired up T1 put me in

06:49:27.860 --> 06:49:33.560
We're not washed yet. Come on. Not anymore. Not anymore. No, I don't think I don't have the fire in me anymore

06:49:33.560 --> 06:49:37.980
I just I just play ranked and up fun. It's a lot of hours. Yeah, it's too much work

06:49:38.580 --> 06:49:44.180
Getting old. Pogo. We've got three fantastic tanks here on camera. We've got reinforce

06:49:44.180 --> 06:49:49.380
We have you and of course we have been best of course. Who's the best of the three? I

06:49:51.220 --> 06:49:53.600
Mean reinforce was pretty good at this peak

06:49:54.940 --> 06:49:58.540
The ancient lore of Overwatch history, that was seriously...

06:49:58.540 --> 06:50:01.140
I didn't play Overwatch League, you too did.

06:50:01.140 --> 06:50:04.640
Yeah, but you are like before the Overwatch League, which is more prestigious for me.

06:50:04.640 --> 06:50:07.140
I like that. That is good gas.

06:50:07.140 --> 06:50:09.640
He's way better than both of us combined though.

06:50:09.640 --> 06:50:13.340
Go watch PokerStream donate on our behalf in the meantime.

06:50:13.340 --> 06:50:14.540
We got to check out Group B.

06:50:14.540 --> 06:50:16.240
Poker, thank you so much for joining us.

06:50:16.240 --> 06:50:16.940
Yep, of course.

06:50:16.940 --> 06:50:18.740
Let's take a look here at our Group B bracket.

06:50:18.740 --> 06:50:21.040
We are about two minutes away from that draw show.

06:50:21.040 --> 06:50:24.640
Shout out to everyone on stage getting ready for this crazy raccoon.

06:50:24.640 --> 06:50:30.160
You just heard it's most likely going to draw T1 or one other opponent.

06:50:30.160 --> 06:50:33.360
Zeta Division is the other squad that T1 could draw.

06:50:33.360 --> 06:50:36.960
It's a lose-lose in my book, so is there a win in this situation?

06:50:36.960 --> 06:50:42.000
No, not really. I mean, maybe perhaps like they're extra motivated.

06:50:42.000 --> 06:50:47.280
Maybe there's some magic on the stage, but on paper, like both of these teams said,

06:50:47.280 --> 06:50:50.960
as well as Crazy Raccoon, they should have pumped for the upper hand against T1.

06:50:50.960 --> 06:50:52.320
So that's a little unfortunate.

06:50:52.320 --> 06:50:58.640
In Johnny, I assume that means GKE sports and space station gaming are likely to play Twisted Binds or Wayboat.

06:50:58.640 --> 06:51:02.240
That's right, because in this, of course, you can't play the team from the same group.

06:51:02.240 --> 06:51:06.160
So if you're the number two seed here in Group B, if you're GKE or Space Station,

06:51:06.160 --> 06:51:09.920
you're guaranteed to play the number one seed from Group A and Vs Vs Vs.

06:51:09.920 --> 06:51:14.400
So if you're the number one seed from Group B, then you have to play the number two seed

06:51:14.400 --> 06:51:16.320
from Group A, one of those two teams.

06:51:16.320 --> 06:51:21.200
And so I actually think that the number two seed from Group B, they have some real upshot potential.

06:51:21.200 --> 06:51:23.200
You lost, Danny. You completely lost.

06:51:23.200 --> 06:51:26.200
No, I'm on the page. No, I don't see it.

06:51:26.200 --> 06:51:31.200
I understood. Yeah, group C number two can't play.

06:51:31.200 --> 06:51:32.200
Uh-huh.

06:51:32.200 --> 06:51:33.200
Number one for the same group.

06:51:33.200 --> 06:51:35.200
Actually, there you go.

06:51:35.200 --> 06:51:37.200
Yeah, something like that.

06:51:37.200 --> 06:51:38.200
Excellent work here.

06:51:38.200 --> 06:51:40.200
It took 60 years of eSports knowledge

06:51:40.200 --> 06:51:42.200
combined to figure out how this whole thing works.

06:51:42.200 --> 06:51:44.200
Meanwhile, production knew all along

06:51:44.200 --> 06:51:46.200
and they're going to have that ready for us

06:51:46.200 --> 06:51:48.200
in about 45 seconds before we go.

06:51:48.200 --> 06:51:50.200
If you're Waybo and you want to make it.

06:51:50.200 --> 06:51:53.240
to make it to a championship Sunday.

06:51:53.240 --> 06:51:55.200
Who are you hoping to draw?

06:51:55.200 --> 06:51:56.240
Oh, who are you hoping to draw?

06:51:56.240 --> 06:51:58.280
Like, I don't want to go on this D.K.

06:51:58.280 --> 06:51:59.880
I don't want to go up on this D.K.

06:51:59.880 --> 06:52:01.240
Like, D.K. could go all the way.

06:52:01.240 --> 06:52:03.200
Three of those guys were in the Esports World Cup finals

06:52:03.200 --> 06:52:04.040
last year.

06:52:04.040 --> 06:52:05.800
I don't want to pay that team.

06:52:05.800 --> 06:52:07.760
And what is stopping Twisted Minds

06:52:07.760 --> 06:52:10.320
from winning 2026, Danny Lim?

06:52:11.680 --> 06:52:13.320
What is stopping them?

06:52:13.320 --> 06:52:16.920
I guess teams are crazy recorded and data, I guess.

06:52:16.920 --> 06:52:19.560
But I think Twisted Mind has a really good chance.

06:52:19.560 --> 06:52:23.600
I mean, they played a super close in a Japanese question in Tokyo, and you know,

06:52:23.600 --> 06:52:25.400
they might be able to do it again and maybe win this one.

06:52:25.400 --> 06:52:27.900
Well, find out who is crazy raccoon playing it.

06:52:27.900 --> 06:52:31.000
It is time to get into the draw show live from EWC.

06:52:32.400 --> 06:52:37.360
Yeah, we've got all the answers you need here on stage here at the EWC.

06:52:37.360 --> 06:52:39.600
It's the STC arena stage.

06:52:39.600 --> 06:52:43.300
And look, we've played all the overwatch that needs to be played in the group stages.

06:52:43.400 --> 06:52:47.500
There's one thing left to do, and that is to determine the matchups for our quarter final.

06:52:47.500 --> 06:52:52.060
We're going to have a live draw here myself and Lua joined by some very special guests first

06:52:52.060 --> 06:52:57.300
I'm going to introduce team liquids rack attack. How are you doing and how much do you enjoy the matches today?

06:52:58.100 --> 06:53:04.020
Magic I've been very good today. Honestly did enjoy a lot of it. What a loved liquid on them, but you know

06:53:04.540 --> 06:53:08.580
Can't can't have it all. Sorry about that. It is what it is. It's fine on the other side

06:53:08.580 --> 06:53:10.580
Of course, I'm with Fefefefefefe

06:53:10.940 --> 06:53:15.180
Finaly, j'ai envie de dire l'en du président d'overwatch. En France, alors quoi ce qui est particulier?

06:53:15.180 --> 06:53:20.580
big reaction yeah what is particular with him is that not only he's a streamer

06:53:20.580 --> 06:53:25.060
but also a caster you've been hearing his voice here in the venue so which team

06:53:25.060 --> 06:53:29.260
do you have your eyes on who are you excited about I'm gonna always cheer

06:53:29.260 --> 06:53:33.860
for him here so I'm excited to see who twisted minds gonna face fair enough

06:53:33.860 --> 06:53:37.740
twisted minds I'm excited and he cares and he came fair enough to do this lose

06:53:37.740 --> 06:53:43.060
we stop let's go we're gonna start by seed one so if he's gonna draw seed ones

06:53:43.060 --> 06:53:49.500
one by one to have them in the brackets and teams from the same group cannot be

06:53:49.500 --> 06:53:55.460
facing each other in the first quarter finals and first is indeed Twisted Minds

06:53:55.460 --> 06:54:00.700
this is our de-organization I'm gonna take care of this thank you

06:54:00.700 --> 06:54:04.480
they're looking good Twisted Minds looking very good yeah they recovered

06:54:04.480 --> 06:54:06.480
Fefe, next one, let's go.

06:54:11.480 --> 06:54:14.480
Next one is Weeball Gaming.

06:54:15.480 --> 06:54:16.480
How does that sound?

06:54:17.480 --> 06:54:18.480
Pretty good.

06:54:18.480 --> 06:54:19.480
Pretty good, pretty good.

06:54:19.480 --> 06:54:23.480
Moving on to the third seed one team in the bracket.

06:54:23.480 --> 06:54:28.480
The third team, seed one, Zeta Division.

06:54:28.480 --> 06:54:35.480
who will not be directly faced with Twisted Minds again.

06:54:35.480 --> 06:54:42.480
And last but not least, you've guessed it, but still, Crazy Raccoon.

06:54:42.480 --> 06:54:48.480
You'll have to be a foo for this last Seed 1 team.

06:54:48.480 --> 06:54:51.480
Ian, shall we get going?

06:54:51.480 --> 06:54:54.480
Now, the question is, who will their face off against?

06:54:54.480 --> 06:54:57.480
Out of the teams that are in the top Seeds here,

06:54:57.480 --> 06:55:02.480
Who do you think would you say is the number one and the most dangerous left in the tournament?

06:55:02.480 --> 06:55:10.480
You gotta go with Crazy Raccoon, I mean they're always dominant for us, they always bring it when you need it and just a scary team overall to face.

06:55:10.480 --> 06:55:12.480
Pfeffer, do you agree? Crazy Raccoon best team?

06:55:12.480 --> 06:55:16.480
I don't know but it's a pretty good one and the best since humans, yes.

06:55:16.480 --> 06:55:19.480
Ok, solid recently, let's move on to the C2.

06:55:19.480 --> 06:55:23.480
This is where we find out which teams will face off against each other. Back attack, you ready?

06:55:23.480 --> 06:55:25.480
Ready, I'm ready. Let's begin.

06:55:27.480 --> 06:55:36.640
GKE Sports!

06:55:36.640 --> 06:55:45.480
The first matchup is going to be GKE Sports versus Twisted Minds!

06:55:45.480 --> 06:55:54.280
I'm going to welcome the players, UB and of course our player, you're going to face

06:55:54.280 --> 06:55:56.280
He's bummed, of course. Love that, 7.

06:55:56.280 --> 06:55:59.280
You can get back, of course, into positions.

06:55:59.280 --> 06:56:01.280
We're very excited for that EMEA Derby.

06:56:01.280 --> 06:56:04.280
You said it, did you want to see a Derby EMEA?

06:56:04.280 --> 06:56:06.280
I wanted to see them, but maybe not against Lotte.

06:56:06.280 --> 06:56:09.280
It seemed to be a bit of a loss on the road, but it's going to be a good match.

06:56:09.280 --> 06:56:11.280
It's going to be a good match. I'm sure about that. I agree with him.

06:56:11.280 --> 06:56:14.280
It's from Quads Fander. Let's move on to the next one. Let's do this.

06:56:20.280 --> 06:56:22.280
Dallas! Fuel!

06:56:24.280 --> 06:56:33.080
So the next matchup, I am waiting for confirmation, it's going to be Dallas Fuel versus Zeta Division.

06:56:33.080 --> 06:56:37.480
Oh, rack attack, as these players come together here, what are your thoughts on that matchup?

06:56:37.480 --> 06:56:39.480
It's a tough one, isn't it, for Dallas?

06:56:39.480 --> 06:56:47.280
Definitely a tough one as a fellow American, TBSA, a little scary, so you don't go against Zeta, but, you know, I know they got that.

06:56:47.280 --> 06:56:49.480
You back them, you back them. Yeah, yeah, I got them.

06:56:49.480 --> 06:56:51.480
Alright, let's move on now to the next one.

06:56:51.480 --> 06:56:56.480
Look at me now and Violet, who gave each other a fist bump, that's gonna be a banger match.

06:56:57.480 --> 06:57:00.480
Oh, T1!

06:57:02.480 --> 06:57:10.480
So the third game is gonna be Crazy Raccoon versus T1!

06:57:10.480 --> 06:57:14.480
What do you think? That's a spicy one. That's a really spicy first round.

06:57:14.480 --> 06:57:16.480
Scared to see one of those guys go out really early.

06:57:16.480 --> 06:57:19.480
Isn't that gonna be one of the best matches possible?

06:57:19.480 --> 06:57:23.080
Yeah, maybe it's gonna be the ones that we're gonna get the most excited about.

06:57:23.080 --> 06:57:25.480
Yeah, we're gonna get excited about it for sure.

06:57:25.480 --> 06:57:27.960
Now we know who this is, but we've got to do the formality.

06:57:27.960 --> 06:57:33.800
Let's take our attack and let's reveal to the world the final team, which is of course

06:57:33.800 --> 06:57:35.880
Space Station Gaming!

06:57:37.960 --> 06:57:44.760
Weibo versus Space Station Gaming is our last matchup, our last quarterfinal.

06:57:44.760 --> 06:57:49.760
So thank you guys, how are we feeling about this?

06:57:49.760 --> 06:57:52.760
What do you think about it?

06:57:52.760 --> 06:57:56.760
I think it would be a good match for the teams that wanted to face each other.

06:57:56.760 --> 06:58:00.760
I think those teams wanted to face each other for the one that we're playing.

06:58:00.760 --> 06:58:02.760
So that's going to be interesting.

06:58:02.760 --> 06:58:05.760
Final thoughts? I think that's our final spicy game.

06:58:05.760 --> 06:58:07.760
Hopefully, as you can get some revenge for us.

06:58:07.760 --> 06:58:10.760
Let's see, you're an attack there, you've been brilliant.

06:58:10.760 --> 06:58:13.760
We're just going to take a quick look at the bracket so you at home can really see

06:58:13.760 --> 06:58:19.300
see what is in store for you tomorrow on quarterfinals there for Overwatch here at the Esports World

06:58:19.300 --> 06:58:20.300
Cup.

06:58:20.300 --> 06:58:21.300
Lou, we're in for a pangor.

06:58:21.300 --> 06:58:26.480
Yeah, I'm really excited about it and starting from tomorrow there is no second chances anymore.

06:58:26.480 --> 06:58:30.880
No loser bracket, you lose, you're out to the airport, you win, you move on, so I can't

06:58:30.880 --> 06:58:31.880
wait for it.

06:58:31.880 --> 06:58:32.880
Can't wait to get it.

06:58:32.880 --> 06:58:41.480
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you once again, can't wait for tomorrow.

06:58:41.480 --> 06:58:44.120
Can you win an award for a draft show?

06:58:44.120 --> 06:58:50.560
Well done to that trio, our director Ian and of course Lou, alongside our special guest.

06:58:50.560 --> 06:58:55.640
And what a bracket if you are a Weibo fan, this is your time to smile.

06:58:55.640 --> 06:59:01.760
Johnny, space station gaming is in your way of a semi-final and potentially a clear road

06:59:01.760 --> 06:59:03.040
to a grand final.

06:59:03.040 --> 06:59:04.040
My head is exploded.

06:59:04.040 --> 06:59:05.840
Like this bracket is unbelievable.

06:59:05.840 --> 06:59:10.680
If you told Weibo gaming or space station that they could make top four in this tournament,

06:59:10.680 --> 06:59:13.800
Both of those teams would have just exploded with joy,

06:59:13.800 --> 06:59:15.000
like so happy about this.

06:59:15.000 --> 06:59:17.880
And meanwhile, Twisted Minds, GK, above them as well,

06:59:17.880 --> 06:59:19.560
that's going to be essentially a match

06:59:19.560 --> 06:59:20.600
for a spot at the Grand Finals

06:59:20.600 --> 06:59:21.720
because they're so favored.

06:59:21.720 --> 06:59:23.080
This bracket is unbelievable.

06:59:23.080 --> 06:59:26.880
On the other side, T1, they're devastated

06:59:26.880 --> 06:59:28.560
as they draw a crazy raccoon.

06:59:28.560 --> 06:59:30.120
And even if you win that,

06:59:30.120 --> 06:59:32.040
you're likely to play Zeta Division,

06:59:32.040 --> 06:59:35.200
the squad that everyone has feared in this tournament, Zoe.

06:59:35.200 --> 06:59:37.840
Yeah, I would mean my heart dropped here for Danis Fuel.

06:59:37.840 --> 06:59:39.640
They had to fight so hard to even get here

06:59:39.640 --> 06:59:41.520
and now set a division in their way

06:59:41.520 --> 06:59:43.840
to make the semifinals for T1.

06:59:43.840 --> 06:59:46.400
I mean, at least they're familiar with Crazy Raccoon,

06:59:46.400 --> 06:59:49.520
maybe the familiarity helps them in some way, shape or form.

06:59:49.520 --> 06:59:51.240
I'm reaching, but I'm trying.

06:59:51.240 --> 06:59:53.680
Danny, if you win this next round

06:59:53.680 --> 06:59:55.360
and go to the semifinals,

06:59:55.360 --> 06:59:57.040
what's the difference of prize money

06:59:57.040 --> 06:59:59.360
and of course points for the club championship?

07:00:00.240 --> 07:00:01.240
60K?

07:00:01.240 --> 07:00:02.080
60K?

07:00:02.080 --> 07:00:02.920
60,000?

07:00:02.920 --> 07:00:03.760
300 points?

07:00:03.760 --> 07:00:04.600
300 points?

07:00:04.600 --> 07:00:05.440
Yeah.

07:00:05.440 --> 07:00:06.280
Did I get that right?

07:00:06.280 --> 07:00:07.120
Not bad.

07:00:07.120 --> 07:00:08.120
Okay, no, not at that.

07:00:08.120 --> 07:00:09.800
I feel like I'm getting quizzed every time.

07:00:09.800 --> 07:00:11.280
Every time Puck is throwing me a question,

07:00:11.280 --> 07:00:13.120
I'm just like, oh, did I get the right answer?

07:00:13.120 --> 07:00:14.240
Okay, that's okay, that's pretty fair.

07:00:14.240 --> 07:00:16.160
I thought it had all the notes of the homework

07:00:16.160 --> 07:00:17.000
on the bistro.

07:00:17.000 --> 07:00:19.760
I was a fan, it's right there.

07:00:19.760 --> 07:00:22.640
I'm talking, I said 5,000 times.

07:00:22.640 --> 07:00:23.760
I said Puck and Tee.

07:00:23.760 --> 07:00:25.640
Look at me, I'm like, okay, he's gonna throw me a question.

07:00:25.640 --> 07:00:27.640
I didn't even see that, and you were like, okay.

07:00:27.640 --> 07:00:29.880
Oh, I'm like, okay, right there, got it.

07:00:29.880 --> 07:00:32.600
And that's how you win Emmys, ladies and gentlemen.

07:00:32.600 --> 07:00:34.240
Our playoff bracket is set.

07:00:34.240 --> 07:00:38.640
We, of course, have a million dollars and 400,000 points

07:00:38.640 --> 07:00:41.000
and of course, sorry, 1,000 points and 400,000 dollars

07:00:41.000 --> 07:00:42.600
on the line for first place.

07:00:42.600 --> 07:00:45.120
Johnny, this is some serious money for Overwatch

07:00:45.120 --> 07:00:46.680
and we're only here in the mid-season.

07:00:46.680 --> 07:00:48.040
I am so excited for this one.

07:00:48.040 --> 07:00:50.000
This bracket, whichever way it unfolds,

07:00:50.000 --> 07:00:51.760
it's going to be two days of Overwatch action.

07:00:51.760 --> 07:00:53.480
You don't want to miss.

07:00:53.480 --> 07:00:55.000
Final thoughts here, Zoe,

07:00:55.000 --> 07:00:57.000
as we're about to head into the shuttle.

07:00:58.480 --> 07:01:00.520
Glad you mentioned that.

07:01:00.520 --> 07:01:01.880
I'm just very, very happy.

07:01:01.880 --> 07:01:04.200
History's already been made.

07:01:04.200 --> 07:01:07.360
China making it this far is super, super exciting.

07:01:07.360 --> 07:01:09.040
It's been a region that's been lacking behind

07:01:09.040 --> 07:01:10.120
for the last two years.

07:01:10.120 --> 07:01:11.900
So to see them in this spot

07:01:11.900 --> 07:01:15.880
and like the semifinals in reach is incredible.

07:01:15.880 --> 07:01:18.440
Danny and I are gonna go find a very happy couple

07:01:18.440 --> 07:01:21.440
that is celebrating their honeymoon here at EWC,

07:01:21.440 --> 07:01:23.720
watching their favorite game in Overwatch.

07:01:23.720 --> 07:01:27.260
In the meantime, we hope you guys enjoyed the STC recap

07:01:27.260 --> 07:01:28.960
of all the games from Group Play.

07:01:28.960 --> 07:01:30.920
We'll see you for the playoffs tomorrow.

07:01:30.920 --> 07:01:36.920
TORRES! MAKE THEM NICE!

07:01:38.920 --> 07:01:39.920
LET'S GO!

07:01:50.920 --> 07:01:51.920
EASY!

07:02:51.920 --> 07:02:58.920
that's

07:03:06.280 --> 07:03:13.280
all jill dance

07:03:21.920 --> 07:03:49.920
Play is in our DNA.

07:03:49.920 --> 07:03:56.920
Whenever we let it out, it becomes our superpower.

07:03:56.920 --> 07:04:03.920
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.

07:04:03.920 --> 07:04:06.920
Hedia City, powered by play.

07:04:09.920 --> 07:04:15.920
We were there for every click, every clutch, every respawn.

07:04:15.920 --> 07:04:20.920
We were there for the years of grind, and we're here.

07:04:20.920 --> 07:04:27.420
Now, the proud founding partner of EWC, powering the biggest event in gaming, shoulder to shoulder

07:04:27.420 --> 07:04:29.420
with the world's best.

07:04:29.420 --> 07:04:31.420
Making history.

07:04:31.420 --> 07:04:33.420
Greatness deserves a stage.

07:04:33.420 --> 07:04:36.420
Lenovo Legion, reach your impossible.

07:04:45.920 --> 07:04:47.920
I

07:05:45.920 --> 07:05:47.920
I

07:06:45.920 --> 07:06:47.920
I

07:07:15.920 --> 07:07:17.920
I
